Unfortunately, loss of appetite and lethargy are both very vague, general signs of illness. Issues such as infections, parasites, illness, nutritional issues, etc can all be potential causes. It would be best to keep Kiwi in a warm hospital cage with easy access to food and water to help him remain comfortable, and to schedule a vet visit in person if his symptoms continue so that the causes can be narrowed down and treated.

Kiwi could be suffering from a condition directly effecting the gut such as an infection or impaction, or it may be a condition elsewhere in the body causing him to feel nauseous and therefore not want to eat. I would have Kiwi examined by an avian vet as soon as possible to try and narrow down what is going on. Birds are sensitive creatures band if Kiwi is I'll it is best to find out quickly so treatment can commence. There are no home remedies so you will need to see the vet to get medication.
