Most Birds have a homing instinct, meaning they stay in familar areas (mostly around where they where hatched and fledged) Most birds prefer being in their cages because it provides them with security, however some (birds who are in unfamiluar cages or areas) will fly away and not return. Locking the cage not only insures the birds safety when no one is around, but also keeps untrained birds from winging it across country.

To keep them from hurting themselves or your furniture, drapes, etc. when they decide to go for an unsupervised aerial romp. Pet birds view their cage as THEIR territory. It is their comfort area and they will attempt to defend that space by flogging or biting. When they want peace and quiet they go to their home just like we do.

It is not a question of whether they enjoy it, it's a matter of controlling their environment. My birds are out of their cages all day when I am home and I'm able to monitor what they are up to. They have tree-like play stands they play on that have toys hanging on them. But when they are in their cages, they are usually unsupervised.
