Why Do Senegals GROWLLL???

I have 1 and he GROWLS :aiwebs_02 ... just at me!!! Why is this??? I cannot figure what triggers him to do this, but he only does it to me so far!! And I am the 1 whom he is most fond! It's very cute, but I dont know what he is signaling!
Anyone know what this is about? My other birds never did this!! :icon_eek:

Mine growls when she is snuggling with me. For her it seems to be a sign of contentment.

I don't have a senegal.... but my macaw growls all the time, and loves it when I growl with/back at her. It's a sign of contentment for her. She also has a (higher pitched) growl when she is angry or trying to get away with being mischevious and I catch her!

My 'Too doesn't growl, she hisses. She hisses when she's mad, or when she's happy. They are slightly different, but not much.
