Why don't birds get electrocuted on power lines?

This video explains the basic reason and science behind "Why don't birds get electrocuted on power lines?" while humans can't touch energized lines without getting shock. In the coming videos, it will be explained how humans can carry maintenance of energized power lines (Extra high voltages) safely.

Sir i have a doubt, we all know there will be magnetic field around a current carrying conductor.so for high voltage lines like 110kV 400kV 33kV have larger magnetic fireld...So. If a bird stands in a pole and tge HV conductor is very near and the bird is under the magnetic field, will the bird get electrocuted...Ir there is a chance for flash over... please explain❤

Is there any hazard risk of getting electric shocks if the internet fiber cable is touching a naked electricity wire running between two poles?
Fiber cable doesn't conduct but will there be any risk when it is going to be wet in rain?

There is a electric potential difference between bird and the wire so why don't the current just enter in the bird ?

A load of bollocks really, there is a high potential difference but it doesn't exceed the breakdown voltage of the air.
