If birds have 69 chromosomes. Which bird chromosome is not paired or are there 69 pairs of chromosomes?

Actually, most birds have a diploid number (2n) of ~80 pairs of chromosomes. Two thirds of all birds have between 2n=74 and 2n=82; they have highly conserved karyotypes throughout evolution. The bird you are probably thinking of is a species of kingfisher, which has the highest chromosome number known (2n=134 or 138 - it gets hard to tell with that many). The haploid number of chromosomes is then 67 or 69.
