Why birds do not get electric shock

The second big reason is that the bird doesn't complete an electrical circuit. For a shock, current needs to flow from a high-voltage point to a low-voltage point, like the ground. Since the bird is just on the wire and not touching the ground or anything else, the circuit is open. If a person touches a wire while standing on the ground, their body completes the circuit, causing a deadly shock.
