Birds can safely land on power lines because they typically touch only one wire at a time, and electricity requires a complete circuit between two different voltage points to flow; if a bird touches another wire or a pole simultaneously, it completes the circuit and can be electrocuted.

Why Don’t Birds Get Electrocuted? ⚡ #shorts #birds #petfacts #animalsAdded:
Everyday birds land on powerline without any problem, but have you ever wondered why they don't get electrocuted? After all, those wires can carry thousands of volts. The secret is that birds usually touch only one wire at a time.
Electricity needs a path between two different voltage points to flow. That's why birds can safely sit on powerlines, but if they touch another wire or a pole at the same time, the result can be deadly.
