How birds sitting on a single power line don't get shocked because there is no path for current to flow to the blank?
Birds are not good conductors of electricity. Their cells and tissues do not offer electrons an easier route than the copper wire they are already travelling along

In simple words we can say that when birds sit on the single conducting wire then there is not closed path&when it touch both conductor at a time then closed path forms & birds die due to shock
Why don't birds get shocked on high voltage wires?
Birds can sit on powerlines without being shocked because, in order to be shocked, your body needs to be touching both the powerline and the ground at the same time, so that there is a path for current to flow.If birds sit on a powerline, they aren't touching the ground. This means that they will not be shocked.Another explanationTo be electrocuted you not only need a point at which the electricity enters your body but also a point at which the electricity exits your body. Because the birds are only touching one wire there is no place for the electricity to exit, and this prevents them from getting electrocuted.
