Custom Parrot and DIY mini hydrometer

I am thinking about building a parrot. I know that with smaller stills, mine is 10 gal, you get delayed reading that makes it a bit harder to make accurate cuts.
So I was looking at a parrot designed to use much less liquid than needed for the standard Proof and tralle Hydrometer. I'm thinking a miniature hydrometer made from a straw and a weight. Try different materials. Calibrate it using a regular hydrometer. With that I can make the parrot much smaller.

Thoughts?
