Here's what TheBestNotes has to say about it:
"23) “Baboons. Baboons. They build their own cages, we could almost hear Mr. Pignati whisper, as he took his children with him.” (p. 166)
This final comment by John is a metaphor for how humans also build emotional cages that prevent them for fully experiencing their lives and being happy.
