Answer:
The copper in electrical wiresis a great conductor. Birds are not good conductors. That'sone reason they don't get shocked when they sit onelectrical wires. The energy bypasses the birds and keeps flowing along the wire instead.

Explanation:
electricity works via electrons flowing through conductors. If there are birds on electric wire that aren't getting shocked, it means that the bird is not a good conductor of electricity. This means that birds don't allow the electricity to flow from the wire into their own body.
