a goose for some reason tried to fly
I saw one strike a power line that sent him cartwheeling to the ground with a thud. He then got up and looked around, probably wondering WTH then flew off again.......

They drop walnut shells on the street all the time. Cracks em open. The younger ones have to learn about height but catch on pretty quick.

I guess I live in a place where they don’t put a ground that close to a live wire.

Crows might be the smartest animals on the planet. This one got a tad unlucky.This one flunked electrical engineering in college. His nickname is/was "Sparky".

I saw the results of a similar event about 10 years ago. A wiresitting crow flapped his wings and shorted the two conductors...POOFF!! Tripped the utility breaker and shut the power down in our commercial complex. Went outside and there was the fried and smoking crow at the bottom of the pole.

Top of your transformer. Safety fuse to transformer case (grounded) or crow standing on trans and pecking at something near high voltage hot connection. Watched it happen to a squirrel once, flaming squirrel, grass-fire and all.
