How do I convince my parents into letting me get a pet bird?

Question

ok so here it is.... i'm a 13 year old girl... and I really really really want a pet bird!!! but I have 2 cats that are hunters and if they can get to it they will kill it. but I don't think that is the problem. My mom said that i just can't get a bird... With out reason! but i don't think my dad would care... I mean he had 2 birds.... so I just don't get what the big deal is.

How can I convince my parents into letting me get a pet bird?

Answer 1

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 your life and family. :)

Answer 2

1. why would you want a pet bird, you can't even hug them.

2. why would you want a pet bird when you have 2 cats that might eat it? are you a s****t?

Answer 3

I don't know what Moms' problem is with birds!my Mother was so but we finally convinced her.and about parrots(especially young ones),they shouldn't even see cats!

But I'm sure with your father help you can buy one.

Good luck
