Why don't birds get electrocuted when both of their feet are on a power line?

Because there is no ground. In order for them to be part of the circuit, there has to be a way for the electricity to more easily flow through them to something else then for it to continue travelling on the wire. because its not grounded

What will happen when water is electrocuted?

If sufficient current current passes through your heart it will either stop or go into fibrillation ... in either case you will quickly die.Since it must pass through your body, a basic safety rule when working with hot wires is "to keep one hand in your pocket". That is, don't allow yourself to be grounded by one hand (or wet feet for that matter) if your other hand should happen to touch a hot wire.most of this answer is right, but only in a category of high voltage. the reason why you get electrocuted is because water is one of the best conductors. if you put two wires on the carpet it will not burn, heat up (unless the wires are touching) or get electrocuted. but a wet carpet will surely get electrocuted. with humans being 80% water, we are good conductor. a human is a better ground than the ground. but if you touch a positive wire while connected to the ground, you will be electrocuted. if you touch a negative wire while connected to the ground you will not be electrocuted.but if you touch a positive or negative wire while not touching the ground you will not be electrocutedbut if you touch a positive and negative wire, on or off the ground you will be electrocuted.the ground is negatively charged, and when connected to the ground, so are you.positive and negative electrons react to each other, and touching both of them to a conductive material (such as yourself) allows them to do that. and your brain communicates with your organs with electricity, which is why your heart can stop.
