Why pigeons feet do not carry current whereas feathers carry while sitting on a wire carrying current?

I am not sure whether I am answering your question or if I have missunderstood how you have written it, but I am assuming you mean why do pigeons not get electrocuted when sitting on power lines. The answer to this is simply that if they are sitting on one wire (one phase) and not touching any other wire (whether is be another phase, earth or neutral). They will not be electrocuted due to the fact that current needs a path to travel. Voltage (otherwise known as potential difference) is the difference in potetnial between two conductive materials. Now a Pigeon would carry current (just like humans) and be electrocuted IF it was to touch two wires at the same time, as it is making itself a part of a circuit (in this case it would be a short circuit.) But if it is only touching a wire that is, for example, 11,000 volts, and is not touching any other conductor of another phase, or earth potential. then the Pigeon itself would be at the same potential as the 11,000 volt line and be perfectly fine. I hope this answers your question.

What things can not be electrocuted?

Non-living objects or things such as plastic, wood, glass, and paper cannot be electrocuted as they do not conduct electricity. Additionally, living organisms that do not possess a nervous system or electrical conductivity, like plants or bacteria, cannot be electrocuted.


Can you get electricuted from walk in shower stalls?

You can be electrocuted from walk-in shower stalls if there is an accumulation of water in the bottom of the stall. Otherwise it is highly unlikely that you can be electrocuted.
