Yes, he is. But like in many Brazilian stories, the
progenitors of new characters aren't cited if
this isn't important for their stories. In Biquinho's
case, just knowing that he is Fethry's real nephew was
sufficient. Nobody knows who is his father, mother,
etc. and whether they are still alive or not.

Biquinho's premiere story (B 810124 "O Nascimento do Biquinho")
just shows us that when his egg was being delivered to
Fethry's house, carried by a stork, Biquinho (still inside the
egg) punched the stork's beak in the middle of the journey and them
fell in a distant jungle, being "adopted" by a porcupine
family after hatching. Later on FE and Gloria started
an expedition to search him and found him captured by an
unknown tribe.

All of this was told in B 810124 "O Nascimento do Biquinho"
(Biquinho's birthday"). B 850077 is a story where
Biquinho just tries to explain (with his creative
mind) what happened with him before he was rescued.
