I'm assuming you mean 4' (four feet) instead of four inches?

They probably would, but that doesn't mean anything. I've seen birds breeding in the tiniest cages imaginable.
I would reccomend something a little wider. A flight would be even better. A well excercised mother (flying) means healthy chicks and an easier time laying eggs.
However, my IRN's parents were in a cage smaller than the one described by you. And they did successfully raise five chicks. So yes, they can.
