Answer 2

Well for starters, how about trying the following:

#1 Cleaning your room and making sure that it STAYS clean and tidy.

#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.

#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.

#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.

#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters & brothers.

#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make "yuck" faces when given it.

#7 Don't talk rudly to adults

#8  Always share with other kids.

#9 Go to bed when you are told to.

#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.

# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.

If 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to you life and family. :)

Answer 3

Show your parents you are responsible by walking and feeding the dog for a month without having to be reminded.  You said your are going to do extra stuff, but you need to prove you will stick with it.  You need to let them know you will clean the cage and clean up the seeds and feathers from the floor - parakeets are messy!

Ask them why they aren't letting you get a parakeet.  Is it the mess, or are they afraid they will end up taking care of it?  Or is someone allergic to birds?  Do you have someone who will watch the bird if you go on a trip or go camping?  Answering these questions will help you know what you need to know before you can have your own parakeet.

I love birds, I hope you get one.
