Re: a grape-a-holic
Grapes, like a lot of fruits, are full of sugar. They're fine in moderation. Sounds like this is a high value treat for your bird. I would consider removing from regular diet, cutting the grapes up into really, really small chunks and using them as rewards.

Re: a grape-a-holic
I read somewhere that grape seeds contain something which prevents and stops feather plucking. Sanjay actually prefers the big seedy grapes to the smaller seedless variety. Look for "Globe" and similar varieties, but do'nt let him eat them all the time, he needs variety.
