How come birds on electric wires dont get electroucuted?
They are not grounded. Electricity is going to take the shortest route possible and with the least resistance...therefore it is "easier" for the electricity to travel in a straight line through the metal cables than to travel up and back down again through a bird which is not conductive. If you were to hang from a power line (assuming you didnt come close to another one) you would not be electricuted, only if you touch the ground or another wire or pole will you get zapped.
Answer The resistance of the wire between the bird's feet is so low that the current passing through the conductor cannot create sufficient voltage drop to harm the bird. Should part of the bird come into contact with another line conductor, or an earthed conductor, then it will be killed.
