How telephone wires connected?
I'll take that as "How are telephone wires connected?" but it's still unclear what you want to know. Telephone wires are connected just as any other wires are connected. By screw connections, by soldering, by crimping.
Is telephone use during rainstorm safe?
Yes. The potential difference, or voltage, involved in a telephone call is very little, hence the thin wires used in telephone cables. Therefore, if the water from the storm were to penetrate the wires, the shock would be so small, probably less than you get from licking both terminals on a square battery.
Why do birds sit together on telephone lines?
For a start, most telephone wires are insulated and carry little or no electricity so, apart from falling off and hurting themselves, they won't get hurt on telephone wires. Really, you should have asked about why birds don't get hurt on overhead electrical wires. The answer is fairly simple really - to get electrocuted from those wires you need to complete the circuit, in this case touch the ground, for the electricity to surge through the body. Birds only sit on the wire and do not touch the ground, so they can't be electrocuted.
