Hi! Here is a link to my set-up for breeding (and keeping!)

(If you can't open the link, look in the "Gallery" under Cages, aviaries, etc.)

This has worked great for me. As you can see in the picture I have added plants, though real ones. Just make sure they are not toxic to birds. Here is a link to safe plants for the aviary:

I have also added lighting, in the form of aquarium strip lights; I replaced the original flourescent bulbs with full spectrum bulbs.

Good luck.

FYI, the cage dimensions are as follows:
Exterior Dimensions: Width 64¾" Depth 21½" Height 60"
Interior Dimensions: Width 64" (32" each side) Depth 21" Height 35"
Bar Spacing: ½"
Bar Thickness 2½ mm
Stand Height 24"
