Both the lecture and the reading passage discuss the danger of glass on birds. While the reading state that there are many solutions to prevent injuries to birds. The lecture refutes this, by saying that these solutions not effective to prevent birds fro

The article and the lecture are both discussing ways to prevent birds injury caused by the collision with glass buildings. The reading claims that there are three ways to prevent this collision from taking place. The professor dismisses all three claims and states that such solutions are useless and not effective.

First, the author posits that engineers can make glass non transparent so birds would see a solid object in front of them. The lecturer refuted this point by stating that replacing transparent glass with mirrors could cause birds to see reflected pictures of trees. He argues that birds cannot distinguish between reflected pictures and real pictures.This will not solve the problem and result ultimately in a collision.

Secondly, while painting the glass with colorful designs may help birds to identify that a solid object is in front of them, the unpainted holes inside these designs will still deceive birds thinking that it is free air. Besides, trying to reduce the size of holes within the design would cause darkness inside the rooms

Finally, the author claims that using a magnetic field that emit signals will direct birds away from the building. The professor again disagree with the author. He contends that magnetic field is effective to divert long distance travelling birds. However, short distance travelling birds will not recognize it because such birds use sight and day light to find there path.As a result, absolutely, collision would occur.
