because When a bird is perched on a single wire, its two feet are at the same electrical potential, so the electrons in the wires have no motivation to travel through the bird’s body

The bird is not connected to the ground.. Until there is a contact, the electron will not flow..secondly the feet are on the same wire..so no potential difference so that electron can flow...

The copper wire in electrical wires is a great conductor of electricity. Copper allows electricity to flow easily along its surface. Electricity flows along the path of least resistance. Birds don't get shocked when they sit on electrical wires because they are not good conductors of electricity

CHARGE NEED TO FLOW FROM LOW RESISTANT PATH AND ALSO FROM +VE TO -VE OR GROUND. HERE IN THIS CASE BIRD ON A SINGLE WIRE HAS NOT BEEN GROUNDED BY THE BIRD SITTING ON THE WIRE I.E, IF ONE LEG OF BIRD WERE ON THE WIRE AND THE OTHER ON GROUND THE DEFINITELY THE CURRENT WOULD FLOW THROUGH THE BIRD.

Electricity flows from high voltage to low voltage.but there is not any potential difference on the wire ,the bird is sitting. That's why birds does not get electrocuted.

First the circuit is incomplete as the bird is not in contact with any other wire. It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. The resistance offered by the bird is also too much compared to that offered by the copper/aluminum...

First the circuit is incomplete as the bird is not in contact with any other wire. It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. The resistance offered by the bird is also too much compared to that offered by the copper/aluminum wire which are known good conductors of electricity hence almost negligible amount of current flows through the bird that does not harm the bird. read less
