Living things get a shock when an electric current flows through it. When the bird sits on a live wire, the circuit is incomplete and there no potential difference is set up across it's body. Now, if the bird happens to touch the neutral wire and live wise simultaneously, for example while trying to fly between the power lines, then sure it will get a shock and will be dead.
