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. Birds are able to to survive on an an electrical power line because a bird only touches one line, whereas if it were to touch another line or a pole, electricity will travel through the bird to either the ground or another wire as electricity has to flow from something to something. 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.
