Why do you have to persuade them ?If you were a responsible pet /bird owner in the past,it should not be a problem to replace a bird.For your parents not to allow you another bird tells me you didn't commit to your duties or lacked intrest in caring for your pet.

Speaking as a parent, it is probably because they got stuck having to take care of it, when you lost interest in doing so. But also, sometimes people get tired of the house being over-run by animals. With all those kids, your parents are probably lucky they haven't pulled out all their hair yet. You need to be as understanding of them, as you want them to be of you.

If you were only seeing your bird every couple of days, that is not consistent with someone who the bird meant so much to them! Is it????

Children do not persuade parents.   Parents persuade children.  Stop whining and begging.  When you show that you are mature, your parents will be more willing to treat you as an adult.  Then, and only then, they may consider another bird.

Look in the cage again. The boney things in the corner are probably your starved too death bird.
