Clyde, Quaker; Freddie, tiel; Rocky, umbrella cockatoo.
Rocky is the only 'too I've ever known, and he is such a love sponge. He wants to snuggle. He wants kisses. He stuffs his head into my armpit and lays against me as long as I'll let him, so I can stroke his face and head. And he makes these little sounds while he snuggles, or if he wants to. Is that a 'too thing, or just him? He's had a horrible past, with no stability, lots of homes, abuse and neglect and indifference. Some of the love sponge thing is probably because he's been so starved for affection, though I know 'toos tend to be clingy. The sounds just melt Mommy into a puddle of goo, though, and Rocky gets whatever he wants when he does that (and knows it, too, LOL).

All that and more! They love to snuggle, and enjoy making surface contact with their humans. Various sounds are common as well.
