life cycle of a german owl pigeon

The first stage of a German owl pigeon is the egg in twenty days of safe incubation they will hatch 

The second stage is the chick in three weeks they will open their eyes and they may begin to cheep for food.

The third stage is the young bird they begin to feather out at five weeks but still have a bare spot on their chest they will begin to fly at six weeks and the parents may stop feeding them and they will start eating seed.

 the final stage is the adult when they no longer rely on their parents.

The last and final stage is the adult when they are fully independent .
