Foods and Bedding

My bird has decided that he enjoys eating 'cheerios' throughout the day. I figured that it is okay because they are made from different grains. Please correct me if I am wrong. :?
Also, I am worried that he sometimes gets cold at night, but I am not sure whether to make him a bed of some sort or leave him etc.
Please help me? :)

Covering part of the cage, top and a little on the sides, at night can keep off draughts/crossbreezes and help keep him warm.

Cheerios here and there as a treat are fine, but I wouldn't rely on them as a nutritionally viable main source of food. Look at the ingredients, there is also quite a bit of salt and sugar added. Keep in mind that just a few cheerios is actually quite a bit for a small bird. :)
