Quite helpful is what ground-nesting birds can be to organic gardeners. For example, hermit thrushes [Catharus guttatus] often may be heard but not seen from the lives that they lead in the underbrush. But gardeners may see the difference in the biological control that hermit thrushes represent over snail [Gastropoda class] populations.

Are organic eggs always kept out of cages?

You might think so, it is not always the case. Organic means many things to many people. Organic eggs can in fact come from a battery farm where the hens are kept in small cages. It is the feed they are given that often determines whether they can be labelled "Organic" or not. Birds fed a strict diet of non medicated foods, from crops that are pesticide free can be called "Organic" Organic Free Range does not even mean the birds are free to wander…often "Free Range" means they are kept in a big barn and can walk around instead of in a small cage. If you want true organic free range eggs you should buy from a farmer you know and know how his birds are kept.
