How you get shocked by electricity?

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.

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.
