Both the author of the reading and the speaker discuss solutions to prevent injuries birds from glass window. The speaker negates all the ideas has mentioned in the reading.
First of all, the author of the reading points out that people can use clear glass in only one direction in their buildings. That means people can see out, but birds cannot see in. This point is challenged by the speaker. He restates the fact that for birds, one -way glass is as bad as regular glass because they cannot recognize the reflection of mirrors. They may think that mirrors are the same real sky. Thus, they fly through them.
Secondly, the author of the reading contends that people can paint colorful lines or other designs on regular window glass, such as thin stripes. The speaker rebuts this argument by saying that if people paint big or regular stripes on window, birds will see glass as whole sky and fly through them. If people paint small stripes on window, it will make the space of buildings look extremely small.
Finally, the author of the reading states that people can create an artificial magnetic field to lead birds away from buildings. The speaker, on the other hand, opposes this point by explaining that birds only use magnetic field to travel long distance. When they travel short trip, they just use their eyes and sense to travel. Therefore, the artificial magnetic field cannot help them in this case.
