By testing chicken models at different weights (bird mass of 0.2 kg, 0.9 kg, and 2 kg), larger specific surface (the ratio of surface area to the weight) led to a higher convective heat transfer coefficient.
The above regime resulted in the birds maintaining stable body weights approximately 5% below their free-feeding weights (birds lost an average of 5.78% of their starting weight in part A and 4.55% in part B).
The beads showed how much additional weight each bird could lift--a good measure of its reserve flight power.
Similarly, decreasing the dry excreta weight per bird (as for the QTL on GGA19 and 26) by 11.4 % would lead in proportion to a 5.7%% decrease in the surface needed to spread manure, since dry excreta represents 50%% of the manure [ 63].
Passenger pigeons nested in colonies of tens of millions, and in winter their roosts were so packed that the weight of birds broke the limbs off mature trees.
Domestic breeding of the turkey has been primarily for rapid growth and high market weight, the birds being raised solely for meat.
But what about "keys" (kilos of cocaine); "trap house" (a place where cocaine is cooked into crack); "fishscale" (uncut cocaine); "triple beam" (a scale used to weigh the drug); "work," "weight," and "birds" (terms for parcels of cocaine)?
However, some fish have relatively large brains, most notably mormyrids and sharks, which have brains about as massive relative to body weight as birds and marsupials.
Table 1 summarises the deployments, and shows the weight of birds, measured at times of deployment and recovery of trackers.
Even if the floating crust of sewage on top of the pools can support the weight of birds, it cannot support the weight of children.
The overall mean body weights (+between-bird SD) were 74.828 + 4.213 g for the LC birds and 74.758 + 5.629 g for the HC birds.
