I'll start it off with this one from Colombia. I believe the bird in this instance is the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus).

Nice looking note. I have no doubt there will be many beautiful postings in this thread.

A Kiwi from Kiwiland.

Here's another, more recent "Kiwiland" issue, depicting the New Zealand fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa).

Papua 20 Kina note, with the Bird of Paradise.

And the 25 Gulden note from Surinam's bird series of the year 2000. This is the White-Throated Toucan, Ramphastos tucanis

Here're two more brightly colored notes, the first being the Samoa 20 Tala, featuring the national bird, the Tooth-billed pigeon (Didunculus strigirostris). These were printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, Limited.

Plus Nectarinia jugularis on the Singapore $20.

Three favorites in my collection:

A bit obvious, of course:

A little Swedish fun

Another American beauty

Bangladesh 2 Taka, a small note at just 60 x 100 mm. The national bird depicted is Copsychus saularis, variously called the doel, dhyal thrush, and magpie robin.

The back of a Brazil 5 Reais. The bird is, I believe, an egret.

What a great thread. There are so many topics out there to collect. Birds are definately one of the better ones.

Here're two versions of the Zambia 50 Kwacha, each featuring the African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer). As with the Samoa 20 Tala previously posted, these were also printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, Limited.

Another one of the outstanding Surinam series of 2000 A.D., the 10,000 Gulden note showing the Ornate Hawk-Eagle, Spizaetus ornatus
