Question

Why don't birds get electrocuted when they land on an electric wire?

Answer 1

Answer:

Birds are able to sit on electrical power lines because the electrical current essentially ignores the bird's presence and continues to travel through the wire instead of through the bird's body. A bird's body is not a good conductor of electricity.

Answer 2

Answer:

They do get electrocuted when the wire they're sitting on touches another wire creating a short circuit and current flows through the birds body and they get electrocuted.

Most of the time they are safe because the wire they're sitting on does not touch another wire.
