This video shows a Samaritan and animal lover trying to free a trapped bird but rather met his waterloo.

Now, can a dry stick conduct electricity?
If yes,
Is it based on the voltage?

dry wood is already dead with no water in it, it can never conduct electricity

Exactly, electricity (thunder) travels through air (insulator) and hits trees to start fire.

That shit is scary. I don’t think anyone should trust dry wood to fix electrical shits

Tree contains water.
That dry wood can conduct electricity if the voltage is very high.
Going close to an high tension wire can electrocute you without touching you.

Long story short, Electricity can travel through Air.

Are you sure rain did not fall recently and the wood is yet to be completely dried afterwards?

Exactly also remember electricity have magnetic properties, they can charge through air to a polar object

I don’t think the guy is that dumb not to know if the wood is wet or not. Electricity travels through dry air bro

I know about wireless electrity. I think it is about magnetic conduction. Maybe the guy has something metallic on his body that the electricity go attracted to.

When I never mad ,even if it's a person hanging on that ,I won't try to help by doing that ,talkless an animal - a bird of no value for that matter.
Why not call animal services if any thing of such exists in his area.
Omo I am sorry o,me and electricity no dey play at all.
Someone help me out ,what is the abnormal fear of electricity called?

Dry woods conducts electricity but extremely poor & its significantly dependent on the moisture content of the wood.

Air can conduct electricity, even wood, dried or not

Anything with atom and electron can conduct electricity

No, dry wood CAN'T conduct electricity. The guy got too close to such a high voltage electrical field and got served. Why do you think power workers in this part of the world , even with all their zero-conducting gear turn off power supply before maintenance? High current creates magnetic fields while high voltage creates electric fields. You don't even need to touch the cable, just don't get too close or kaboom!

Wood, no matter how dry can conduct electricity especially at high voltages.

From my own assessment of this video, I think dude perhaps hit a cable he shouldn't have hit thereby causing that huge spark which eventually led to a panic .I don't think he got electrocuted... I stand to be corrected though.
