How about the elusive man-bird?

 

Andorra 5 Cents 2002 Capercaille or Gall Fer, sometimes misidentified as a turkey.

 

1 euro Finland (very nice all coins of Finland)

 

These birds seem popular, so here are a few more of mine:

Penguins on a Falklands Crown
Stork on a Birmingham 1792 token
Quetzal bird from Guatamala
Emu on an Australian Threepence

 

Its a woodcock, Eugene

 

Something about a real thread killer...

 

How about some yard-bird?

 

I just got this today. It has birds on both sides. 1975 New Guinea 20. Not sure offhand what the T stands for.

 

Trinidad and Tobago One Cent

 

A Looney !!!

 

Another puffin, of a different type. This is the 'MacPuffin' trade dollar, a series from Cape Breton Island (Nova Scotia) from 1975 to the early 1990s. This puffin has the Cape Breton tartan hat and a walking stick.

 

A recent error coin I picked up. I don't collect birds, I don't collect South African coins, and almost all of my error coins are Canadian - but I could not resist it...
