A man trying to pluck a parakeet nest from the top of a power station in southern Florida was shocked by a live wire and received several burns recently, authorities said. Cameron Fritzson, 20, climbed a 10-foot fence surrounding a Florida Power & Light substation then tried to scale the electrical tower where his arm brushed against a transformer. He fell 20 feet. Police believe Fritzon may have been trying to collect the parakeet eggs to sell at a pet store.

Well done that electric tower.

Oh dear! We are just so sorry for him! hee hee!

No kidding! He got what he deserves!

doubly foolish it seems - that is so sad & I wonder if others will think about their actions. He risked his life - he should be thankful for the burns although I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The pain will be unbelievable.

Yikes!

I wonder what type of parakeet was nesting up there?!?! I'm guessing a Quaker parrot; aren't they fond of electrical towers?

I think Quakers are fond of anything they can cram sticks in

What a moron.

Hopefully he does learn his lesson,you suppose it would have been bad to just stand there and watch him and laugh?
