A certain amount of yawning is perfectly normal. It is either just a normal relaxed yawn or sometimes a more exaggerated yawn with the neck extended as well. The growling is because he is a bit nervous of you, and it is also fairly common.

That probably means he is a bit hot. When we have had a heatwave here mine have held their wings out a little. You could try spraying him but he might be afraid of the water.

When my air conditioning went out Pete sat like that. I pointed a fan at him on low and he settled down. It took me a day to install a new system and he and I were very happy after that.

Resham,
Try to make sure his cage is not in direct sunlight, so he can be in the shade (as much as possible) when he's hot.
