These cages - like most quest objects now - are unique to you, so people can't "steal" them from you while you're killing something.
They also do not respawn, so you need to search around a bit.
You only need 6, but here are the locations of 10:/way 40.7, 68.9
/way 40.2, 68.5
/way 42.4, 69.7
/way 42.7, 70.7
/way 45.7, 71.5
/way 46.4, 72.8
/way 41.8, 67.7
/way 43.8, 64.9
/way 44.9, 65.0
/way 45.5, 66.2
If you can talk to [npc=108685] at the Lorna's Watch FP, and if you have a goblin glider or similar slow fall item, ask him to take you to the top of Galebroken Path, and you can float into the quest area without having to clear lots of mobs on the way into the village.
I had a bit of trouble finding the 6th cage, but I found it: it was outside the east gate of the village, at 46.34 72.80.
