How come birds can land on power lines without being electrocuted?

The high voltage is between one wire and the other. From one point on the wire to another point on the same wire, the voltage is quite insignificant. As long as the birds don't touch both wires, nothing much will happen. The wire does not have a difference in voltage from foot to foot. The term "high voltage" refers from wire to ground. Electricity flows down a voltage gradient. There is no gradient of voltage between the feet.

Why don't squirrels get electrocuted on power lines?

Squirrels don't get electrocuted on power lines because they don't provide a path to ground for the electricity to flow through their bodies. Their body doesn't complete the circuit like a human would if they touched a power line and the ground simultaneously. Additionally, a squirrel's body is naturally insulated by fur, which helps protect them from electric shocks.
