The reading and lecture both discuss the idea of protecting the birds from getting hurt from regular glass of building materials. While reading provides three solutions to protect the birds from the glass, the professor refutes, saying none of these claims are convincing.
Firstly, the reading states that we can use one way glass instead of the regular one. So, the birds can see the reflected pictures and will not fly through it. However, the professor argues this notion by saying that replacing the regular glass by one way transparent one will not solve the problem. This is because this glass will act as a mirror. Moreover, the out surface is bad as the regular glass. Furthermore, the birds can not understand the reflected pictures of sky or trees. As a result, the birds will fly right in it.
In addition, the article avers that we can make colorful strips on the transparent glass. So, people inside can see well and in the same time the birds will recognize that it is a sold body. On the other hand, the professor contradicts this idea by pointing out that the strips on regular glass are still a problem. In fact, people inside would see from the opening part, but the birds would see the opening part as a hole and they would fly through it. So, the unpainted areas should be extra small to protect the birds. Consequently, it will be too dark and it will be hard for people inside to see.
Lastly, the article mentions that we can use electromagnetic field through the building. So, the birds can feel it and fly away from the building. As a result, we can save all birds from getting injured. Nevertheless, the professor argues this point by explaining that this is true that birds can feel the electromagnetic field. Furthermore, birds can use the electromagnetic field when they migrate long distance from cold area to the warm area. On the other hand, they depend on their eyes when they travel short distance. So, electromagnetic field would not have much effect.
