While yesterday’s puzzle still remains unsolved, I thought I’d share this Youtube video having to do with an earlier puzzle that explained why birds don’t get electrocuted when sitting on high voltage wires:

While not directly related to the birds puzzle, it’s still fascinating to watch (note, though, that the two wires the guy sits on are at the same potential; the far away wires are at a different potential).
