Were they handfed pets? Birds will breed when ready, usually spring is hormonal season, but it varies and some will have two clutches a year. Do you have knowledge of how to handraise birds? Do you have a proper incubator?{a must in case needed...they are pricey}
All birds should be fed to build up their health before allowing to breed. Breeding takes a huge toll on them. If these are pets, they may not make good breeders/parents, most do not. Are you willing to give them up as pets? They may not want anything to do with you if they do breed, and may become aggressive and dangerous. How large is the "large cage"? Have they been sexed as male and female?

Something for you to read: BirdAdoption.org - The Problem - Adopt a parrot or another captive bird instead of contributing to the homeless bird problem by buying from a breeder. Educate yourself on proper bird care BEFORE adopting a bird. They make difficult, demanding 'pets'
