Because they have a good balance skill called hypmitosis.

Another answer:

For birds to grasp something with their feet all they need to do is relax their muscles. It takes muscle strength to open their grasping feet. So, when they go to sleep (and relax) their grasp actually tightens rather than loosens.

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.
