Electrified Mockingbird
It was interesting to see how birds for some reason know which wire to land on and not get electrocuted. When a bird is perched on a single wire, its two feet are at the same electrical potential, so the electrons in the wires have no motivation to travel through the bird's body. No moving electrons means no electric current. Our Mockingbird is safe, for the moment anyway.
