First, replacing regular glass with one -way glass. Well, the problem with one-way glass is that to the bird on the outside, a one -way glass surface reflects just like a mirror, and a surface that reflects like a mirror is just as bad as regular glass for birds because birds don't understand the mirrors. If they see a reflection of the sky in a mirror or of a tree in a mirror, they'd think the reflection is the sky or is the tree. And they'll fly right into them.
The second solution, painting colorful patterns like stripes on regular glass, also has problems. As the reading said, these designs include openings so people inside the buildings can see out, but birds will perceive these unpainted openings as open holes. And if bir ds think that they are seeing holes, they'll try to fly right through them. To prevent birds from doing this, the unpainted spaces in a window would have to be extremely small, but that would then make the rooms of the buildings too dark for the people inside them.
The third solution, creating an artificial magnetic field, won't work very well either. While it's true that birds use Earth's magnetic field to help them navigate, they use this only when they are travelling very long distances. For example, if a bird is migrating from a cold country to a warm one before winter, it will use its magnetic sense to figure out which way it should fly. But this ability isn't used to go over short distances, such as going from one side of the city to another. For short trips, birds use their eyes and the brightness of light to determine where to go. So magnetic signals from buildings won't have much effect.
The article states that birds cannot differentiate between glass and open air, and it is more likely that birds damaged by glasses. So, it provides three solutions to cope this problem. However, the professor explains that these solutions are not stop birds to get injuries and refutes each of the author's solutions.
First, the reading claims that transparent glass, clear glass with only one-way direction, could be effective. The professor casts doubt on this point by explaining that transparent glass is as harmful as clear glass because it reflects light like mirror, which reflect shy or trees in surrounding areas, and birds cannot distinguish between mirror and clear glass.
Second, the article posits that painting glass like using colored lines or other designs is another solution. In contrast, the professor says that painting on glass could not be much effective because provides situations that people inside the building might be unable to see outside of the building due to lack of light and dark circumstances.
Third, the reading says that by using magnetic field around the glass birds could get away from the buildings. The professor opposes this point by saying that birds use their magnetic field to navigate for long distances in order to find out their ways, flying from cold region to warm region is one example of using this mechanism, but for short distances, like form flying one part of the city to another part, birds use their eyes and light. According to the professor, this solution would not be effective.
