It shouldn't matter. Just like a bird can stand on a wire because its more
resistive then the wire itself.
No. It can do that because there's a single potential being contacted,
namely no current path through the bird.
You just have to make sure the wire is closer to the power lines than your
body so it doesn't arc to you to get to the wire. I suppose there might be
a conductive path through the ground too so maybe you gotta hop on one foot.
Bizarre.
