Why does a kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?

The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.
If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.
So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight of feathers.
