Hitherto, many people still believe that the only reason why
birds is not shocked by electric current when they perch on high tension wire
is because of the insulated scale around their foot, well they are right in the
believe, but that is not the only and tangible reason for the phenomenon. Conventionally
speaking electric current travels in a straight line along a conductor e.g
wire, from high electric potential to the low electric potential when the
circuit is completed i.e the flow path of an electric circuit. When the bird
perch on the high tension wire
