Birds and glass
The reading passage states that glass which is used in buildings is dangerous for wild birds and provides three solutions for this problem. However, the professor claims that none of the solutions are effective and refutes all of them.
First, the article posits that by replacing of clear glass with one-way glass, the birds will distinguish the glass. The lecturer refutes this solution by saying that one-way glass is like mirror and birds do not understand mirror. He explains that birds will see the reflection of sky or trees on the glass and they will try to fly on it which leads to damage them. So, this is not an effective solution.
Second, the reading passage argues that by painting colorful lines or other designs on window, birds can distinguish the glass. The professor opposes this point by discussing that the birds will see the open spaces between lines as holes and will fly right through them. According to the professor, for solving this problem, designs should be very close with small open areas and this kind of designs make the inside of buildings too dark for people which makes this solution unacceptable.
Finally, the article holds the view that using magnetic fields in the buildings will guide birds away from buildings. However, the professor casts doubt on this view and contends that the birds use magnetic fields to find their way in long trips. He explains that the birds use their eyes or brightness to fly in short distances. So, in this case magnetic fields will not work.
Overall, while the passage brings three solutions to solve the problem of building glass for birds, the lecturer prefers to differ by providing counter arguments.
