Question

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

Answer 1

This happens to be so because the feet of the birds are not the good conductor of the electricity due to which when they sit on the electric wires, their feet do not conduct electricity to the body and hence they are not electrocuted at all as the feet of the birds  are kind of insulator, and they do not allow the flow of the current to the blood through the feet.

Answer 2

$<b><i><u>$ We usually see birds sitting/landing on electric wires. We may wonder, why they don't get a shock i.e. why aren't they electrocuted?

This happens because, the feet of the birds are insulators of electricity. They don't allow the electric current to flow through them.

Hence, we can say that, the feet of birds are bad conductors of electricity due to which they aren't electrocuted.
