I’m a sample size of one, but I have witnessed two birds exploding on power lines and found the fried bodies of two more in my front yard. My guess is that this happens a lot. The last one I found in my yard was still clinging to the power line above. The feet stayed and the rest of it shot off about twenty feet into my garden (though not sure if something dragged it there). I can’t imagine how many animals die on these things given how many tens of thousands of km power lines are out there.
