When a bird stands on a high voltage wire, there is no potential difference between the legs of the bird since it stands in a single wire, and as a result, no current flows through the bird. Birds often stand on single live wires, which prevents electric current from flowing through the bird.
So, answer is There is zero potential difference between any two points in their body.
