How To Make A Shocker With A 9v Battery. Running the hot wire to one half of the perch and the other common wire to the other half of the perch may work. As noted by several the birds wont get a shock since there is not a complete circuit path.

Electric shock from 9V battery. Well heres what goes through your tongue when you lick a 9V battery and why that shock has a flavor. I used a transformer with a capacitor in parallel with a 9V battery on its primary side.
With high voltage batteries the danger of electric shock is very real.
Well a 9V Battery cannot give an electric shock on the skin. Now suppose we do scale up the size as you indicated from the original. A 9V battery is safe but wont have any effect since it creates no shock have you never touched the terminals of a 9V battery. The parts I specify will generate a quick minor non-painful burst but it could be adapted easily to increase the power of the zap.
