You should definitely be honest with your landlord. Telling your landlord that you have caged pets isn't a lie though. My sister-in-law lived in an apartment with 4 parakeets and the landlord had no problem with her having them. He knew that they were "caged animals" that often came out of their cage and he was fine with that. If you find an apartment that allows caged pets I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. I think they mostly don't want pets like dogs or cats that are free roaming 100% of the time.
