Mine are in cages for one simple reason, the only complaint I have ever had from the neighbours downstairs was in 7 years was Felix related. I was away one night and left him to have the run of the room. The next evening I had a vist from downstairs to complain about the noise as Felix had spent the whole night chasing an airflight golf ball round and round the room.
