Usually organic ACV is used short-term, with some people using it in the water one week every three months at the amount of 1 tsp. per quart of water. It is believed to help avoid yeast infections by lightly acidifying the water. I wouldn't use it on a daily basis all the time without a specific recommendation from an avian vet.
GSE by the way destroys gut flora - there's a chemical that's added to grapefruit seed extract, not the natural extract, that kills bacteria both bad and good. For that reason, it's not recommended to give it to a bird internally except on the advice of an avian vet.
