Why love birds dating on wire while siting without electrocute

Just take a moment and look at your house window. You will see nice sunshine with beautiful clouds and love birds sit on wires. But wait!!! How love birds can sit on wires ? Why does the bird get electrocute and get fried like KFC chicken? Alright dummies you have lots of questions about these love birds sit on wire and there you are in right place to know it.
Dummies lets learn the factors why love birds doesn't get electrocute
You can see birds on Low,Medium and Hog voltage transmission and service line. So the thing is why birds don't get electrocute even the conductor isn't have any insulation.
 So there's factor that birds get electrocute.
1) Phase - Phase
2) Phase - Ground
3) Phase - Neutral

Before explaining these factors,let see why current didn't travel through instead travel through conductor. As we human and any other animal species even we cant act as a conductor there's also resistance in human and animal body. 

When the bird sit on wire, the current will travel through the wire instead travel through the bird. This is because the current always choose less resistance material. So in this case the conductor is less resistance than the bird, so the current will travel through the conductor. But that never going to be end for the bird being alive on the wire. Even the current ravel through conductor, there's also a little bit current in the bird also but it won't get electrocute because the current is too little.So the potential difference between the wire and the bird are zero. 

Now let talk about what happen if the bird touch other wire accidentally. This is where the birds going to fry like KFC chicken. Remember those three factor I mentioned above,that;s the reason why birds get electrocute and get fry. If the bird touch the another current carrying conductor, this will make a potential difference between the wire which the bird sit and another wire which the bird touch. this will be unbalance current and unfortunately the bird will electrocuted.



There's another thing that bird touch the ground or neutral wire while siting on live wire will get electrocute. This is because if the bird touch the ground wire this will complete one loop, even it's touch the neutral wire also. If you don't know difference between neutral and earth go check out (Neutral and Earth are friends) post.




 So while seeing love birds are still siting on wire,let these birds enjoy dating on wires and it going to be safe unless its touch the other live or ground wire to get fry like KFC chicken.
