TPO42

The professor revises the idea presented in the text about the three possible solutions for reducing injuries to birds caused by their crashes into glass windows and refutes each of the points made in the passage.

First of all, the reading proposes to use one-way glass instead of the regular glass. The professor rejects this idea. He states that one-way glass is like a mirror, and mirrors are as bad as the regular glass for birds because the birds cannot understand the mirror. They think the reflection of the sky or a tree is the object itself and might try to fly through the reflection. Thus, this approach will not work for the purpose intended in the passage.

Secondly, the professor's opinion contradicts the colorful design solution mentioned in the passage. He believes that the birds consider the open parts of the glass as open holes and fly right through them. To avoid this, the stripes should be very close, which in turn could make the room very dark for the residents. Therefore, using the colorful stripes on the windows does not seem like a good idea to help the birds get fewer injuries.

Finally, the professor confirms that the birds have a magnetic compass, too. However, he explains that the birds use this ability only when they travel over very long distances, for instance, in their migration periods. Thus, when the birds go over short periods, they simply take advantage of their eyes and the brightness of the light. So, using an artificial magnetic field, as the reading passage suggested, would not have a great effect on preventing birds’ injuries.
