You don't have a beaker??????!!! Yikes!!!

I have a lovley tall, clear, glass that I use for this type of thing. It is kept on the kitchen window sill so nobody uses it to drink from. A really good place to ask questions is the Hawk Conservancy, about four miles from us and my haven of peace! They are superb people who are mega busy and mega important on a world wide level due to their concerted and determined efforts to breed endangered raptors. They were the first people to breed the New Zealand falcon in captivity, the Brahminy kite and several other species. They maintain the attitude of normal people, despite their immense knowledge and success, have major research projects worldwide that they are involved in and still let a total novice like me in! Their web address is

Please keep in mind that the guy doing the website is a volunteer and has a full time job as well as a part time job at the conservancy, his own family and his own dogs and birds - so if he takes a few days to answer your question try to be patient.
