  • A bird comes in for a landing on an electrical power line in Monterey Park, east of downtown of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley on May 24, 2012 in California.

While there is tremendous electrical potential when a bird sits on a wire, because it doesn't go anywhere the bird remains perfectly safe since the electrical potential has no path through the bird.
