The reading passage and the lecture discuss solutions to prevent injuries from glass windows to birds. Despite that, the professor in the listening thinks none of the solutions in the reading is effective. He casts doubt on every single point the article makes and provides explanations to support his ideas.
To begin with, the reading passage suggests using one-way glass for windows so that birds can not see in to fly through. However, the lecturer argues that the surface of the one-way glass is like a mirror. Birds do not understand the mirror and when they see the sky in the reflection they would reckon it is the sky and try to fly through the glass window. As a result, the professor can not give a nod to the author in terms of the first point.
Secondly, about the colorful design, the writer indicates using some painted lines or designs to signal birds whereas the speaker holds the view that birds will still try to fly through the glass window when there is an opening hole. In addition, the room will become dark due to these designs. Apparently, the professor disproves the counterpart in the reading.
Over and above that, the author thinks the magnetic field can navigate birds' direction. The lecturer, on the other hand, explains that the birds' ability to sense magnetic fields is only used for long-distance trips such as migrating to a warm city during cold weather. The fact is that birds use their eyes and the brightness of the light for short-distance trips. Therefore, he can not support the solution of the artificial magnetic field.
To sum up, the writer and the lecturer have conflicting views on this topic. They will have difficulties finding common ground.
