In the reading, the author states that there are three ways to prevent wild birds from getting injured by the glass windows of buildings. The lecturer argues that these methods are far from effective.
The first solution mentioned by the author is to replace clear glass with one-way glass which is visible in one direction so that birds can’t see through a window. Nevertheless, the lecturer counters that the birds can’t interpret the concept of mirrors. Birds could probably view the reflections of tress and sky as the real subjects and fly directly through them.
As for the second solution suggested in the reading passage, painting colorful designs on windows, the lecturer refutes this by providing the defaults within this method. He points out that there will be several holes on the unpainted regions and birds still perceive holes as channels which can be passed through. Furthermore, in order to reduce chances of the situation mentioned-above happening, the unpainted areas must be very tiny. Consequently, people inside buildings will feel too dark.
Last, another way to prevent birds from getting hurt is the application of magnetic field. The author claims that birds are capable of sensing magnetic field on earth; hence, businesses can use electromagnetics on buildings to guide birds away. However, the lecturer argues that birds’ sense of magnetic only happen when they migrate from other city or in long distance. Thus, the application of magnetic field won’t work out when birds flying in short trips.
