Why Electric wires do not shock birds🤔

1 answer

Electric wires do not shock birds because birds are not good conductors of electricity. Their bodies are covered in feathers, which act as insulators that prevent the electricity from flowing through their bodies. Additionally, birds have a different body structure compared to humans, and they usually do not touch multiple points of an electrical circuit simultaneously, which further reduces the risk of electric shock. However, it is important to note that if a bird's wings touch multiple points of a live electrical circuit at the same time, or if it comes into contact with a grounded object and a live wire simultaneously, it could experience electric shock.
