The birds zapped out and died on touching the high-tension power lines which carried a current of anywhere between 155,000 and 765,000 volts. The process of restoration took a while because of the pole where the birds chose to make out. Western Power spokesman Paul Entwistle who took charge of restoration said in a news report, "The pole that they decided to make their love nest was pretty close to a substation. Just because of protocols we [had] to have a bit of a look around the sub-station too to make sure there was no flash-over that's gone back into the substation." Well, it is unfortunate that the 'spark' between these kookaburras ended with another massive 'spark'.
