It looks like a decent breeding cage so long as the wire is properly aged so as to present a low risk of zinc poisoning. I like to put the feeder bowls near the bottom level to make them move around more than just occupying the top part. Make sure there is plenty of light there. Not sure if it was just a one time thing, but make sure they get good natural light and good ventilation. I was feeling a little claustrophobic just looking at your picture from a lighting perspective. Should have a nice cosy dark corner to peak out from but an overall sense of light and space for good mental health. Hopefully there are some windows they can look out of even if its from a distance.

Looks like the cage is going to be difficult to clean, though. Why do you want to put ferns around the cage? Exposure to damp potting soil and the spores of ferns and mushrooms, etc, can cause respiratory problems and fungal infections in birds. I have stopped having live plants in the birdroom since I found growing fungi on the top of one of my asparagus ferns. I don't need them getting a fungal respiratory infection from plants.

I wouldn't put plants in the cage itself, since some birds will eat the potting soil. Plants next to the cage that they can sort of hide behind can give them a feeling of security if they are scared. You could also try bundles of fresh greens (hopefully they will eat some too) and in summer, fresh branches from bird safe trees with leaves.

they seem much happier in it then in the other cage

I have to cut a hole so i can attach their nest box on the outside any ideas with that?
