In our old house in Maryland, Tuki was right next to a window and he LOVED looking out at the neighborhood. He also had a heater nearby and never had direct sunlight.

Here in Florida in our living room, we have one wall that is ALL WINDOWS! And bonus, The ENTIRE wall opens up.
No direct sunlight...but fresh air, breezy, views of wildlife in the yard and still the comfort of being near mommy indoors.

Well then, I guess these posts settle this for me! My baby will have a nice view of the backyard and wildlife in front of the windows. I am going to get some sort of lightweight cover for the cage though so he can have shade when he wants to. Thanks so much for your help! Have a good one!
