TPO-42 Integrated task
The lecture and the reading are about injuries to birds related to glass. The reading states several solutions to prevent these kinds of injuries. However, the professor casts doubt on what is presented in the text and refutes all the solutions mentioned in the reading. He does not feel that these measures are as beneficial as the author assumes.
First of all, the lecture argues that the first measure, one way glass, would reflect like mirror to the outside birds. In fact it will be very bad for them because they do not understand mirror. They will think the reflection of sky as the real sky and will fly through it, which can cause injuries to them. The reading passage, however, argues that such a glass would not allow birds to see in and they will not try to fly through the glass.
Secondly, regarding the second solution, colorful designs, the lecturer explains that birds will perceive the designs like stripes as open wholes and will try to fly right through it, which again can lead injuries to the birds. If the glasses are painted with stripes, the gaps between them should be extremely small, but it will make the building too dark for inside people. The reading passage gives the opposite view that birds would avoid flying through the stripes.
Finally, the lecturer objects to the third measure - use of magnetic field. She points out that birds sense the magnetic field only when traveling long distances for example, when migrating from a cold country to hot country. For moving short distances they use eyes. Therefore, building equipped with electromagnetic fields will not have much effect. This is in direct contradiction with the claim in the reading passage that birds will sense the magnetic signals of the powerful electromagnets in the building and will direct themselves away from the building.
