Keeping my IRN in airconditioning?

I have been hand raising my 6 week old IRN 'Kokoda' for the past 4 weeks and he is now almost fully feathered. I live in the very north of Australia where it is extremely hot and very high humidity. During the day he is outside under a fan and spends almost the entire day in his water bowl. At night the temp barely drops but the breeze does and I need to bring him inside the house because of wandering cats, making it very hot. My question is, should I let him sleep in air-conditioning during the night or leave him inside in the heat. Is it possible for them to develop health issues from sleeping in cooler or hot temperatures?

He will be fine without the aircon. These are hardy birds and have no problems in outdoor aviaries
