He semi-likes to sit at the bottom of his cage, he has clear droppings, and he has a semi-loss of appetite. He is sort of wobbly (it could just be normal though).

He's also had a stressful day and it's very hot outside. And he's also sleeping right now.

Clear droppings (urates) are a sign of stress. High Heat can be very stressful for them. Make sure they have fresh water -- you can even put ice cubes in the water to keep it cool.
If he does not always sit at the bottom of the cage, that is a BIG sign to you that something is wrong!
Wobbly -- if this is not normal, that is a sign also.
If the bird was poisoned, I would expect discoloration in the droppings, not clear.
If your bird is not improved by morning, get him to a vet asap. I would -- sounds like there is something wrong.

There's several signs of poisoning in birds, but the main ones include seizures, weird colored turds, an inability to perch, sometimes weird head positions, fluffing and vomiting. Loss of appetite is another sign. Some birds may not be able to stand at all. When a Bird vomits, it shakes its head and you'll see bits of food stuck to its head and cage. It's different from regurgitation, which just leaves a small round colored blob on the floor.
I'm not quite sure what's wrong with your guy, but I'd definitely be worried. A vet trip is definitely encouraged! Good luck to you both!

I have a nanday conure. His droppings should not be clear. You need to take him to an avairian vet. A bird vet. My nanday conure is very obnoxious. but I love him anyways. I have had him for 9 years. I give my nanday as treats fruits, veg. and other good things for him to eat. Tommy-Boy has a cage open at all times. He rules what ever room he is in. I hope everything goes well. Good luck

keep him warm, offer him some fresh water and seed and if he dosn't improve very quickly take him to a vet or emergency animal hospital very soon!
