What are some ways to prove I can take care of a parakeet?

I need to get my parents to let me get a budgie/parakeet. Any suggestions to impress them? I really want a parakeet.

Are parakeets hard to take care of and would you recommend it? Can they talk?

my parents say that parakeets are to noisy smelly and messy and also hard to take care of?

i have been trying to bribe my parents to let me have one so if you have had expeirience with them please answer my question.
