There are many islands that are so small they have no breeding birds at all. The countries with the smallest number of species would have to be those which are the smallest and with the fewest trees. I suggest the Vatican would be the main contender. It would have pigeons and a few garden birds but that would be about all.
Antarctica has many species of birds including penguins, petrels, shearwaters, fulmars, prions, storm petrels, gulls, skuas and sheathbills.

well antartic..is home to millions of penguins....greenland doesn`t have any penguins but thousands of wildfowl and sea birds....so my guess would be somewhere very isolated like Fiji or some other small island in the middle of the pacific

Haiti. As horrible as this will sound the country is so poor that they catch wild birds for food. I've been told that there are no birds there because of it.
