Glass is a favored building material for modern architecture, yet it is also very dangerous for wild birds. Because they often cannot distinguish between glass and open air, millions of birds are harmed every year when they try to fly through glass windows. There are, however, several solutions that responsible businesses can use to prevent injuries to birds. One-Way Glass One solution is to replace the regular, clear glass with one-way glass that is transparent in only one direction. The occupants of the building can see out, but birds and others cannot see in. If birds cannot see through a window, they will understand that the glass forms a solid barrier and will not try to fly through it. Colorful Designs A second solution is to paint colorful lines or other designs on regular window glass. For example, a window could have a design of thin stripes painted over the glass. People would still be able to see through the openings in the design where there is no paint, while birds would see the stripes and thus avoid trying to fly through the glass. Architects can be encouraged to include colorful painted patterns on glass as part of the general design of buildings. Magnetic Field The third solution is to create an artificial magnetic field to guide birds away from buildings. Humans use an instrument called a magnetic compass to determine directions - either north, south, east, or west. Bird research has shown that birds have a natural ability to sense Earth’s magnetic fields; this ability works just like a compass, and it helps birds navigate in the right direction when they fly. A building in a bird flight path can be equipped with powerful electromagnets that emit magnetic signals that steer birds in a direction away from the building.

The reading and the lecture both discuss the possibility to bird's injured if they hit the glass windows. The reading states that there are many solutions which will prevent this from happened. While the lecture refutes that solutions ans mention they are not will effectively stop birds from injury.

First of all, the reading says one of the solutions is to replace the regular glass which is transparent from both sides by one way glass which transparent only from inside the building, therefore the birds can't see and will not pass through it. However, the lecture argues that reason by replace the one way glass not effective because glass will reflect the objects like a mirror and birds will not understand that. Furthermore, the reflection of sky or trees will encourage the birds to pass through them.

In addition, the reading claims that colorful glass will help to prevent this issue too. The lecturer adds that thin strips done by architucturer to the design of the windows and as people will still can see through this design but on the other hands, the birds they will not try to pass through these strips. The lecture refutes this reason by stating that if the opening is large still the birds try to go through it because its like a hall. Moreover, if the designer make these strips smaller it will affect the lightnings of the building and become dark from inside.
Lastly, the reading argues that use of electromagnets that emit magnetic signals will prevent the birds from reaching these buildings because will be afraid as birds use the magnetic field of earth for their navigation and direct them for their proper destinations.
The lecture refutes this point by mention that even its true that birds use mangnetic field for navigation but only when travel for a long distance not for nearer one' from city to city they will not use these navigation but depend on their eyes and lights to find their ways.
