Kingfishers, like many birds, typically have a diploid number of chromosomes that varies among species. Most kingfishers have 40 chromosomes, but this can differ depending on the specific species within the family Alcedinidae. For precise information, it's best to refer to studies specific to the species in question.
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.
