The reading passage provides three solutions to prevent birds' injuries caused by glass. However, the lecturer in the listening argues against these solutions and states that none of them will effectively stop the problem.
First, the author posits that replacing the regular glass by one-way glass is a perfect solution. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this solution and says that one-way glass is bad as the regular glass. as well. He explains that birds from outside see reflections from one-way glass like a mirror and will get injuries as if they insight the reflection is real. Some reflections such as sky or tree. Thus, it is still not a good solution to the problem.
Second, the author claims that colorful lines on regular window glass is a possible solution because birds will see these lines as barriers to avoid flying through glass. The lecturer does not believe this claim is plausible to solve the issue. He points out that there is a problem with these colorful stripes on windows which birds would think it as some of opening holes and then flying to it. Even if architects make them extremely small, it would become very dark inside the building. Thus, the author claimed is not plausible solution to the problem.
Lastly, the author mentions that creating magnetic field is helpful to guide birds away from buildings. The speaker does not believe this solution work; this is because it is only effective with long distance trips. Birds in these trips can use magnetic field to travel from cold area to warm area, for instance. However, this method is not working in short trips because birds uses their eyes and bright lights to navigate themselves.
All in all, according to the listening, the provided solutions by the author to prevent birds' injuries are not effective.
