The birds at the Toys-R-US are Yellow-chevroned Parakeets. I counted 230 birds there about 6-years ago. I have not seen any White-winged Parakeets with them. The birds change roost every so often, the same as all of the other parrots and parakeets. It is hard to tell why they do this, perhaps to keep away from predators? They always choose Royal Palms over any other trees. The larger parrots like Australian Pines, but will go to other trees.
