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.
Why can animals sit on high voltage electrical lines?
Animals can sit on HIGH VOLTAGE Electrical lines. It does not give any current to animals or birds unless the circuit is complete. It is essentlal to complete the electrical circuits for making any current. When bird sit on the line / conductor the only legs of birds touched single line and it does not touch the other two conductors below upper line/conducotr , which does not make circiuit complete and birds / animals does not feel current.
Why dont birds die when landing on electrical cables?
High voltage electricity can kill if it passes trough your body. When birds sit on the power cable, the electrical current cannot pass trough their body because no part of their body is touching the ground or any other wire.
Why do big birds get killed by power lines but little birds don't?
The wingspan on a big bird is large enough to touch two wires at once. Any difference in voltage between the wires will cause current to flow through the bird, perhaps killing it. Small birds can only touch one wire at a time.
Why dont birds tip over when they sit on telephone wires?
birds have special tendons that allow them lock around the perch. With tendons located behind their ankle and in front of their knee, they weight of their body stretches the tendons so they lock around the perch

Why don't birds get electrocuted when they sit on telephone wires?
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine, flapping their wings at the last second towards a horizontal flight. Due to a construct in my mind it makes their falling and their flight symbolic of my entire existence. If you want to electrocute birds, all you need is a bug zapper, hence the name.
Something to sit on starting with n?

What hazards can occur during desk area?
