Why don't birds get electrocuted when they land on an electric wire?

itsmehjay:

good question. this is what i found on google Birds can sit on power lines and not get electric shocks because the electricity is always looking for a way to get to the ground. The birds are not touching the ground or anything in contact with the ground, so the electricity will stay in the power line.

itsmehjay:

i never knew that..

sxdsouls:

they are skinnyyyy and or light e,e

itsmehjay:

or probably there is something on their feet that allows them to touch it?

sxdsouls:

HAHAHAHKAJAHS maybe

itsmehjay:
