Both the reading and the lecture are about ways to decrease the birds' injuries from the glass buildings and windows. The author of the reading provides three ways that help with reducing the injuries. While the lecturer cast doubts on the effectiveness of those solutions.
First, the author mentions the one-way glass as a solution. As it is stated in the article, this will help in building people to see the outside, at the same time birds, can't see through it, so they will consider it as a barrier and avoid it. The lecturer, on the other hand, doesn't agree. He says the one-way glass will reflect as a mirror from outside. Birds can see the sky reflection on the glass and think it is the sky and try to fly through or see a tree on the reflecting glass and think it is a real one so they try to land on it. This will lead to birds injuries as well.
Second, the author conducts that glass with colorful designs will solve the problem. With colorful designs or strips on the glass, people will still be able to see through the plain parts. Birds will see the colores and will try to avoid them. The lecturer rebuts on this. He says the birds will see the plain parts of the glass as holes. They will try to fly through those holes which will lead to injur them. The solution to this is to make the plain parts very small, but this will make the rooms inside the building so dark.
Third, the author mentions the use of the magnetic field as a very good solution. As it is illustrated, birds use the earth's magnetic field to determine their direction while flying. Architecture can use the magnetic field as a tool to keep the birds far from hutting those building. The lecturer is totally against this solution. He says that birds use the magnetic field only on long trips as traveling from north to south, but on small trips like across a city or something like that, they use their eyes. The eyes that can't distinguish between glass and empty space. So this is not a good solution.
