Glass is a favored building material for modern architecture, yet it is also very dangerous for wild birds. Because they often cannot distinguish between glass and open air, millions of birds are harmed every year when they try to fly through glass windows. There are, however, several solutions that responsible businesses can use to prevent injuries to birds. One-Way Glass One solution is to replace the regular, clear glass with one-way glass that is transparent in only one direction. The occupants of the building can see out, but birds and others cannot see in. If birds cannot see through a window, they will understand that the glass forms a solid barrier and will not try to fly through it. Colorful Designs A second solution is to paint colorful lines or other designs on regular window glass. For example, a window could have a design of thin stripes painted over the glass. People would still be able to see through the openings in the design where there is no paint, while birds would see the stripes and thus avoid trying to fly through the glass. Architects can be encouraged to include colorful painted patterns on glass as part of the general design of buildings. Magnetic Field The third solution is to create an artificial magnetic field to guide birds away from buildings. Humans use an instrument called a magnetic compass to determine directions—either north, south, east, or west. Bird research has shown that birds have a natural ability to sense Earth’s magnetic fields; this ability works just like a compass, and it helps birds navigate in the right direction when they fly. A building in a bird flight path can be equipped with powerful electromagnets that emit magnetic signals that steer birds in a direction away from the building.
The passage and the lecture are both about glass' buildings affection on the wild birds' flying movement. The birds' disability of distinguishing between the open spaces or buildings' glass, caused lots of harmful issues for birds, this could lead to death in general cases. The author of the passage believes that some solutions should and could be considered to avoid this issue. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the passage. He thinks that none of the article's methods is practical enough.
First of all, the author points out that changing the glass facilities in one direction way will be helpful. Since the birds are not able to see through the one direction glass, they going to analyse it as blocked space. The point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that one-way glass is like a mirror, it can reflex any opposite image like a tree, the sky or the birds themselves. Thus, birds will keep collapsing the glass since they can not understand this images correctly.
Secondly, the author contends that drawing on the glass can be a solution. Glass could be covered by colourfull paints to attract birds' attention, this paints should leave some empty spaces in order to keep the people vision. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He clarifies that birds will try to pass or fly throw the open spaces on the glass, Furthermore, the painting will affect the lightness on the rooms which will make it darker.
Finally, the article states that we could direct and guide the birds away from the glass by using a magnetic field. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that birds use her magnetic ability just during its long distances between the cities or during its emigration. Moreover, birds use its eyes and lights to fly for short distances.
