Events have been moving fast and furiously in Ricky's apartment aviary. Hitler, Ricky's lonesome and loathesome "lovebird" recently acquired a new mate - appropriately named Eva Braun. In a fit of romantic abandon, Hitler began once more to de-feather his newest conquest. But Eva had other plans and promptly layed a clutch of eggs instead of succumbing to Hitler's relentless onslaught!

       Before Ricky's very eyes, a nest was built and then, to the disbelief of the entire Fan community who had been breathlessly following the most recent exploits of this notorious mate-killer, the eggs began to hatch! Overnight, Ricky had become a foster grandfather and a neighborhood sensation!!

       Unfortunately, Darwin's theory turned into reality as several of the birdlets soon died. They must have been too low in the pecking order to get enough food from their parents to survive. As their bodies turned into mummies at the bottom of the nest, the survivors began to grow larger and stronger. Whether these young chicklets will continue to thrive is a puzzle no one is yet prepared to answer.

       But Ricky, now having tasted foster-grandfatherhood, preens at the compliments showered on him about his new status. One can usually find him strolling majestically around his apartment acting as commentator and guide for his Fan friends who parade through his apartment for personal tours of "Hitler's Nest."
