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 lecture presents three viewpoints on the issue of ways that used to prevent injuries to birds, challenging ideas as stated in the reading passage.
Primarily, the lecture holds the opinion that the one-way glass can reflect like a mirror, which is bad for the birds. He illustrates the opinion by stating that birds can not understand mirror and as the result they may hit the glass and become injuries.This point is obviously opposite to what is presented in the reading passage, since it claims that one-way glass is able to form the barrier to prevent from going through.
Additionally, the lecturer points that the painting on the glass can not prevent birds from flying through the glass. As the lecturer claims, if the painting covers the whole glass, the light can not go through and the rooms inside are dark. when the designers leave some holes of paintings, the bird may try to fly through the holes and finally hit the glass. In the reading passage, however, it says colorful designs could avoid birds trying to fly through the glass.
Finally,contrary to the belief in the passage that magnetic field can guide birds away from the glasses.The lecturer demonstrates that the artificial magnetic field could mislead the birds. since earth is a big magnetic field and it can emit magnetic signals to guide the birds fly in correct direction. when the birds fly with a long distance from the cold place to a warm place, they need these magnetic signals to navigate the way. The way that the passage mentioned will affect their way.
