Birds sitting on a single powerline don’t get shocked because they are at the same electrical potential as the wire, so there is no voltage difference to create a current through their bodies. However, if a bird were to touch two powerlines simultaneously, it would create a path for electricity to flow through its body due to the voltage difference between the lines. This can result in a dangerous shock, as the current would seek to balance the voltage difference.

This means that they will not be shocked.Another explanationTo be electrocuted you not only need a point at which the electricity enters your body but also a point at which the electricity exits your body. Because the birds are only touching one wire there is no place for the electricity to exit, and this prevents them from getting electrocuted.
