why, when birds sit on transmission lines or current wires
doesn't get shock?

Answer Posted / terry

the reason birds dont get a shock when they touch an
electrical wire is this electricy always trys to find the
easy route to anywhere now it dosnt go through the bird
because it is easier to go through the wire than the brid
it has nothing to do with the birds being on nutral wire
what ever wire the bird is on it wont get shocked and that
is the sane for us we wont get shocked as long as were only
touching one wire and not touching anything else conected
to the ground
