While several species are relatively well known, the plumed guineafowl and the two members of the genus Agelastes remain relatively poorly known. These large birds measure from 40â71 cm (16â28 inches) in length, and weigh 700â1600 grams or 1.5-3.5 pounds.
A 1 cup measuring cup is divided into 8 fluid ounces. One pound is divided into 16 ounces. I think its very unfortunate that the idiots who invented the English System gave the same unit name (ounces) to both volume and weight! A cup of lead pellets and cup of feathers both occupy 8 fluid ounces of volume. However, the pellets will weigh a lot more than 8 ounces on a scale. The feathers will weigh a lot less than 8 ounces on a scale. This is due to density differences. If a recipe calls for 4 oz of flour, this means use a scale, not a half cup measure. 4 oz of flour will fill about 1 cup (8 fluid ounces). A cup of sifted flour will weigh a lot less than a cup of unsifted flour.
