preventing bGlass 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 held 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 reading and the lecture are both about birds injuries when they encounter a glass window. The author of the reading believes that businesses should use some solutions to avoid this problem. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He thinks that the solutions mentioned in the article are not effective.
The first solution which the author of the article mentions is exploiting one-way glass in the buildings. The author mentions that this glass is transparent in only one direction; therefore people in the building can see out whereas birds cannot see through the window and understand the existence of the glass. The lecturer, however, thinks that this kind of glass doesn't work. He says that this glasses works just like mirrors and mirrors can deceive birds as if the image of sky or tree reflected in it is real.
The second solution stated in the reading is to paint colorful designs on the regular glass. It notes that residents of the building can see out through the openings in the design while birds can see the stripes and this prevents them from getting injured. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that this solution just works if the openings are small; thus the inside of the building will get dark.
The last solution of the reading is to create an artificial magnetic field around the building that would change the direction of the birds. However, the lecturer declares that birds use their magnetic compass just in the long trips and they exploit their eyes and the light to find their ways in the short journeys. So this solution won't always work.
