Absolutely! I giv my parakeet Eddie grapes about 2 every 2 weeks. Don't give it to them too much beause they'll get wet tail (really really bad dirarea!) This may also sound weird but if you realy want to spoil it, give it pieces of pancakes with bird seed cooked in them. Also scrambled eggs w/bird seed!

Yeah, but I'd give him maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of one grape. It would also help him get to it by taking off at least part of the skin.
My budgies mostly love green vegetables. Parsley is not toxic to them, but it contains oxalates which are not healthy. Oxalates bind the calcium in their diet, making it unusable; so long term eating of Parsley, Spinach or other high-oxalate vegetables can definitely hurt or kill them, but every so often won't hurt them. But it is better to stick with things like Romaine, Collards, Dandelion, Red Lettuce, etc.

yes, it is fine to feed parakeets grapes. Actually, most of them love grapes! and it is good for them, it is part of their recommended diet

Also, remember that grapes are high in sugar. Don't feed a lot at once.

Sure but not too many, they do have a high sugar content. Try other fruit and veggies, but NEVER avacados or apple seeds in sliced apples, don't try parsley these 3 are deadly for all pet birds.

yes, birds actually enjoy fruit alot. You might have to cut them up like into 1/4 pieces. Also, your bird may not like it. If you want to give your bird a treat, try millet. They love that. But, birds usually will like fruit.

Yes. They prefer their fruit at room temperature and it should be washed first and cut into bite sized pieces. They like to eat oranges, pineapples, apples and grapes.Remember to remove all seeds/pips.
