People can be injured or even killed by touching live wires. But birds sit on power lines without any accidents. Many people think that egg-laying animals are not harmed by electricity. But this is wrong. Actually our body is a conductor of electricity. For this reason electricity does not flow through the body unless it touches any other conductor by touching the wire. As a result, you will not be rushed.
The flow of electricity can be compared to the flow of water. Water flows from high and high water areas to low and low water areas. Electricity also flows from higher voltage to lower voltage. For this reason, when an electrified wire touches a conductor (soil, water), electricity flows through the body. That's when the accident happened. Therefore, dry sandals should be worn when doing electrical work.
Electricity does not flow through the bird's body even if it sits on an electric wire. Because the bird sits on one wire and does not touch any other electrical wire or conductor. But if you touch another wire while sitting on one wire, electricity will flow through the bird's body. Then the bird will die. This is exactly why bats are seen dying on power lines. When a bat hangs on a wire, its head often touches another wire. As a result electricity flows through his body. And you can understand the result.
