However, if the bird would touch the ground with one of its feet or mistakenly spread its wings such that they touch another live wire operating at a different electrical potential. This would create a change in voltage or electrical potential, causing electrons to flow and thus generating electricity, which may most likely kill the birds via electrocution. This obviously explains why utility wires are taken high in the air above easy reach of humans and wide space made between them.

Now this is the more reason why i always see a dead bird in front of our estate, and there is a wire passing across, lol, some people be mistaking it for a voodoo... Lmao. Thanks for sharing boss. Stay awesome.
