The article states that many wild birds get injured because they often cannot distinguish between glass, which is a favored building material, and open air. These injure could be prevented and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor states that these solutions won't be effective to stop hurting birds and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading states that building could replace the regular, clear glass with one-way glass that is transparent in only one direction. The professor refutes this point by stating that this type of glass also creates a problem. He explains that this glass reflects just like a mirror. According to the professor, the birds are not able to understand reflections. If a bird sees the reflection of tree or sky mirror, it will though that it is a tree or sky but not the mirror.
Second, the article claims that by painting colorful lines or other designs on the regular window. People would be able to see through the openings in the design, while birds would see stripes and thus avoid trying to fly through the glass. However, the professor contends that because there is a problem with openings. He explains that birds perceive openings in the design as a hole and they try to fly through them. In order to prevent injuries, holes should be very small, but this would block sunlight and create darkness inside the buildings.
Third, the reading avers that builders could use the artificial magnetic field. The lecture opposes this point by saying that birds us a magnetic field for navigation only on long distances. On the other hand, for short distances, they rely on their eyes, not on a magnetic field. As a result, the magnetic field doesn't help to solve this problem.
