You get shocked by electricity usually from buildup of static electricity. For example just walking on carpet and touching a doorknob may shock you, but something like that won't kill you. Others ways you can get shocked is from having wet hands and touching electrical wiring, usually appliance plug ins, which has the potential to kill you depending on different circumstances. Another way you can get shocked is if you have a heart attack or your heart stops. To restart your heart, they can use something called a defibrillator shock you and get your heart working again. The last and most dangerous way to get shocked is getting struck by lightning, which most of the time will kill you if you are not insulated.

You only get an electric shock if you are touching both the ground and the electric wire, (or close enough to both for the electricity to arc) Birds sat on electricity cables are not close enough to the ground for the electricity to arc, therefore they do not get shocked.
