Exact numbers I believe are hard to find. I found this info on bids in all in another question.

Birds have quite conserved chromosome numbers compared to other vertebrates. The typical diploid number (2n) is 80 chromosomes. Chicken, for example, has 78 chromosomes.

Of the avian species so far examined (~800 out of ~9600) about 63% have 2n=74 to 86, and a further 24% have 2n=66-74.

Hope this helped.
