Punky's poop is a hunter green color. It is also very runny, we have been feeding him grapes. green ones

Also, he just preened his tail and one of his long tail feathers fell out, is this ok? What are signs that he is molting, he has been loosing a few feathers here and there but nothing major..

Could all of this be due to the stress from the move?
 
Grapes will make poop runnier than usual. I wouldn't be worried unless it is downright diarrhea. You will know, trust me. It will likely be on the vent area feathers as well.

It does seem to be molting season. Do you see any pin feathers? Little areas on the bird that look like miniature versions of the plastic things on the ends of shoelaces. You will often see them easily on the head and neck.
 
Yep he is molting lol
 
Do they act more agressive during molting season?

Yes, they can definately be grumpy while molting. Of course if our hair folicles were as large as their feather shafts, we would be grumpy too! haha
 
That might explain it
