With the continuous development of our national economy, human beings have become more aware of the ecological environment protection. Due to the rapid increase of species and numbers of birds in high altitude, frequent external insulation accidents occur in high-voltage power transmission and transformation projects. In order to reduce the occurrence of bird injury and improve the reliability of line operation, this article analyses the trajectory of guano drop through experiments and simulations and analyses the status of bird droppings. First, the status quo of bird damage caused by accident is analysed. Second, the simulation of bird droppings is carried out by using MATLAB. After considering the viscoelastic properties of bird droppings, the simulation result is very similar to the drop trajectory of bird droppings. Finally, the shape is analysed.
