Both the passage and the professor presenting lecture discuss the probable solutions to prevent birds colliding with building's glasses, which cause millions of birds being harmed every year. The article provides three solutions, while the lecturer cast doubt all of them. The details of the contrast between the passage and the lecture is presented in the following.
First, the article states that using one-way glass could be utilized as an effective solution to prevent hurting birds. One-way glasses are transparent only in one directions and from outside, they are like solid objects. So, birds won't fly through the glasses. The lecturer refutes the effectiveness of this solution, as from outside, this glasses look like mirrors, and explains that birds cannot determine mirrors and if they see sun lights or trees in the mirror, they will fly through it.
Second, the article proposes using colorful lines, like thin stripes on glasses so that birds can distinguish the glasses than air. In contrast, lecturer claims this is a useless solution. He mentions that, by designing thin stripes on the glasses, birds still try to fly through the free space between them, and by thickening the stripes, the rooms behind the glass become dark and darker.
Finally, the article claims that equipping buildings with powerful electromagnetic devices, which create artificial magnetic held to guide birds away, could be a great way to prevent birds collide into the glasses. On the other hand, the lecturer denies this claim. He believes that, birds use their ability, which is similar to compass, only when they are on long journeys. He mentioned that, while traveling in short distances, such as flying across the cities, birds only use their eyes and sunlight to determine where to go.
