My cockatiel is puffed up, lethargic, and has watery poop. Is he sick?

Question

My cockatiel has been puffed up and sleepy today, he's always usually very perky and can't sit still but today he's been a bit lethargic. He's been eating and drinking regularly, but his stool is watery, and he's shed some minor feathers. I've tried to keep the temperature warm but it's been getting a little cold lately. I'm worried he might be sick. What should I do? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 3 months old

Piper is definitely showing symptoms of sickness, it's hard to say what it might be as the symptoms are very general but I would strongly recommend taking him to an avian vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated.
