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

Answer Posted / mahmud

Two legs of birds have small distance. So less potential
difference exist and also birds have high body resistence
compare to the the conductor. Thats why they dont get
shock. If we touch one point of a live line then there will
be no return path or potential difference. But if we touch
two points of a live line then we may get shock if those
two points have adequate distance. Because there potential
difference occured.So shock may get by touching a single
live line but touching more than one point at a time.
