does anyone know what it means when your parrot growls at you?

He feels threatened and is warning you to leave him alone.

Ok but im just confused because he will beg me to come out and then i take him out and hes fine but then all of a sudden he growls and then bites. I dont do anything at all to him. I love him i talk to him pet him and play with him all day everyday how do i stop the growling?

Try playing with him without petting him. Keep your hands away so he can relax and learn to trust you. Amazons are among the birds who least like being touched, in my experience, but they love playing. That's not hard to do with no hands!

ok thank you ill try anything to get him to stop biting bc i wont return him for the world!!
