Why don’t birds get electrocuted on power lines?
As long as a bird is not touching anything but the power line, the bird and the line are at the same voltage, meaning they're both in the air. However, if a bird lands on a power line and touches another object such as a utility pole or a tree at the same time it is in contact with a power line, the bird gives electricity a path to the ground. Electricity will flow through the bird to get to the ground and most likely electrocute it.
