More toys or more flying space?

[crof]

I have bought quite a few toys for my budgies but when the toys haven't been in the cage one of them has been flying around a little. Should I keep it like this with on 1 or 2 toys? Or will adding more toys encourage them to be more active, even if it does sacrifice space for flying?

Find a compromise - I place the toys around the edges of the cages so that the centre of the cages are open for encouraging movement. The toys are close to their perches, at the ends or sides of the cages so that they can rattle, jingle, shake and chew as they feel fit. To be able to do this the cage needs to be of a decent size, though. I also place seed pots and water at opposite ends so that they have to move about to get to each one.
