Answer:
They” is a pronoun that stands for a plurality of people, animals, or things:
“The parrots flocked around us/They flocked around us.”
Those” is a pronoun and a determiner (you could paraphrase it as “the things over there”). Like “they” it is plural in nature and can refer to people, animals, or things:
“We want to care for the people around us/We want to care for those around us.” (those as pronoun)
Note that in many cases in the above examples you can interchange “they” and those” and have a grammatical statement—but the meaning and context is different or at least shifts. And in the case of “those” as a pronoun, “they” simply will not do. You cannot * “care for they around us” for example.
