Current flows through a circuit in the forms of electrons. They are drawn to the positive end of the circuit and propelled by the negative end of the circuit.
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.
Assuming you mean through the victim's body - it travels through the bloodstream.

Gibbons can travel very fast through the jungle canopy. They have been known to travel at up to 35 miles per hour. Gibbons are able to do this thanks to their exceptionally long arms.

The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
In a circuit, electrons travel through a conductive path typically made of materials like copper wires. The movement of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.
No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.
Electric current travels through a closed circuit, flowing from a higher voltage to a lower voltage. It moves through conductive materials such as wires, where the flow of electrons creates the electric current. The rate of flow of electric current is measured in amperes.
The electric current will not travel from one end of the circuit to another.
A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.
Through ions or electrons.
A closed circuit is one that provides an uninterrupted path for a current to flow. This means that the circuit is complete, allowing electricity to travel from the source (like a battery) through the wires to the load (such as a light bulb) and back to the source. If the circuit is open or broken, the current will not flow.
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.
In a series circuit, the electric current flows through each component in sequence. This means that the current passes through one component before moving on to the next one. If one component fails or is removed, the circuit becomes open and no current can flow.
Because the current must always travel in a complete loop, going through the circuit and returning to the supply. A current can't travel along only one wire so no power would get to the circuit unless it has two wires.
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.
