Answer
You can try adding in a female.  The male should be happy with a new female, but 2 females will sometimes fight.


The cage should be somewhere warm, but out of direct sunlight.  If you put it somewhere warmer and with a little more light, they may think that it is Spring and they will maybe start to breed.

Mature budgies are very hard to train, but you may be able to find one that is already trained.  You want to find one that is over a year old.  Females need to be at least a year old before they start having babies.
