Read the six sentences for what Duru sees, what the photograph shows and what the group cannot confirm.
The idea
Duru sees a blue band on the bird's leg, but the number cannot be read in the photograph. Numara okunmadığı için means because the number could not be read; the group therefore says it cannot confirm the bird's identity.
Read the text
Duru pencerede küçük bir kuş gördü. Kuşun bacağında mavi bir halka vardı. Duru kuşu yakalamak yerine uzaktan fotoğraf çekti. Halkadaki numarayı fotoğrafta okuyamadı. Bu yüzden yerel kuş gözlem grubuna fotoğrafı gönderdi. Grup, numara okunmadığı için kuşun kimliğini doğrulayamayacağını söyledi.

No Turkish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
The blue band is an observed detail, not proof of the bird's identity. The story explicitly says the identifying number cannot be read.
