My fids, grey and ekkie have their main cages in a bird room. Your grey should be in a spot that is where the "action is". Greys like to be part of the flock and you and your family are now their flock. Both of my birds are out of their cages most of the day as I am retired. My ekkie is a rescue and so prefers cages. He has a smaller cage in the living room and one in my office. He will get out of his cage in the morning and go to whichever smaller cage he wants during the day. He has been clipped for over 7 1/2 years before I got him and he is still growing new flight feathers. I have had him for a year. My grey, Ana Grey, was clipped when I got her at four months old and had has been flying for the last few months, all over the house. She will be two in August. The main cages are where my fids sleep at night and go when I am not home although they have access to them whenever they want. For Ana Grey there are boings, perches and a cargo net throughout the home for her to sit on. These are also there for my ekkie, Sully, but he does not like them. Sitting on the top of my computer screen is one of Ana Grey's favorite places to be.
