No, don't have time for that.......I'd rather watch Paul Zimmerman's you tube on roses.

I heard about that!! Sure would be something to see! There was a bald eagle cam in Pittsburgh last year my dad and I would tune in for to see the eggs hatch . And we also watched live feed of guysers at yellow stone! Technology can be amazing!!

Did you hear another giraffe gave birth unexpectedly at another zoo ? They had no idea she was pregnant!

So sweet !!! Our daughters nursery had a lot of giraffes incorporated into it . Not sure why .. lol my dh just liked them a lot ! We have a great giraffe exhibit at The Nashville zoo .

Thamks for posting the link for the live feed ! I'll be popping in to see :)

YES, PATTY!!! I have been watching April for DAYS!!! When is she gonna have that stinkin' little baby anyway? Truthfully though, it is calming to watch her. I can't wait to see it. :)

I love seeing video cams like this. I popped it up and it's such a pretty animal. When is she due?

She's past due Judy.

Oh dear!!!

I think it is hilarious that so many are spending time endlessly staring at a pregnant giraffe, while the older one which THE ZOO DID NOT KNOW WAS PREGNANT (how does that happen? This is the Denver zoo, not some roadside attraction - don't they pay attention to their animals?) just delivered her baby without any fuss. The zoo's excuse for being clueless was that she was on birth control, so obviously they knew she was interacting with a bull giraffe...

Anyway HER baby Dobby is adorable, probably even more than usual because he is evidently one half the size of most baby giraffes. So glad they have apparently been able to get him healthy. They said they let him out with his mother to see the public because he was running around inside of the building, and they wanted to let him run outside.

Dang, now i'm hooked on watching April too. She's so cute with her round belly!

Funny this animal park is not doing so well with the attention they are getting. I saw an update from them on Saturday. They were not to happy with all the emails they have been getting. They were getting a little annoyed at the thought that some people did not like how they were doing things. Oh come on now you guys you put it out there for the money. Play it for the money, be happy enjoy the attention. Going on Facebook and telling everyone to stop emailing them and interfering with their business is not going to get you any extra bucks. They need a PR person.

I thought for sure labor had begun earlier. She had that tail up for nearly an hour. Poor Oliver, April took the entire feeder full alfalfa.

Oh my gosh I'm so ready for this baby to be born. I keep thinking every time I remember to check which is about every 2 or 3 days and dang it she's still not delivered. How long ya think they will let her go?

I check in no less than 3 times a day. Thought yesterday was gonna be the day for sure when she quit eating so much. But nooo! Poor April, that belly is sure to burst soon.

lol... enjoying reading this thread...lol...Keep updating please...lol

Patty do they keep her in that one room all the time? I'm ignorant when it comes to giraffes and pregnancies. Lol. I bet she'd love to get outside and it might even get the delivery process going by walking around more or could she harm herself or the baby if she was able to get out? I get so curious about these things and always ask a gazillion questions. Judy.

Judy, just saw this before turning out my lights. The giraffes usually get lots of out side time. That last storm dumped 3 feet of snow where April lives. Now it has been cold there. Giraffes can't walk on ice. I here you. It is sad to see them penned in and they look as thou it is beginning to bother them.

Oh ok Patty. It's good they keep them warm. 3 ft of snow is crazy. I'm just ready for this baby to be born and praying this sweet baby and mommy come thru this pregnancy healthy and perfect in every way. Thanks for putting up with my questions.

So it looks like April with give birth in April.

From the Keeper report - April has zero interest in food. Behavior is extremely off. Signs of contractions continue...

"We will keep you posted should things get interesting this evening. Keepers are onsite overnight and support staff are on stand by"

I'm so tired of that giraffe in my FB news feed, lol. Sure I like animals and all, but this has been going on for a month I'd say. I'm over it.

@reesebuttercup- Yet you clicked on this post. You can't stay away.

I was sure she was giving birth this morning bc the Webcam was offline but then it came back on and no sweet baby. Grrrrr. I'm ready for her to have this sweet baby. Maybe she was waiting for April to get here jasmine4u.

I'm not staying away from it. April puts me to sleep at night. I'll sort of miss it when all is done. Had to stop looking last night. Every time she laid down though for sure she was going to hurt herself. Can't believe she made it to April.

In the mean time Oliver is adorable. He seldom takes his eyes off of April. Seems to do a bit of imitating as well.

I'm out of here this is our first day of sun in a longggg time.

Its baby day!

It is happening now.

Finally a full head so beautiful

Just saw the whole birth..so cute! I wonder if its a boy or girl. Easter baby!

That was amazing! The birth of new life is always beautiful to watch.

Happy birthday sweet baby!

Dang! I missed it

What!!! I missed it too!!!

SoFL I am sure they will show the live birth on the news or another youtube video so you can see it. Its so cute how the male giraffe kept watching from the other enclosure once the baby was born.

It's on their facebook page. Its down below the giraffe's click the Facebook link and srcoll down.

Very sweet. I casted it to the TV and watched it with my fiance, 13 yr old and 3 year old. The 13 yr old's science class had been keeping an eye on her for over a month so I woke him up when I saw she was in labor. So happy he got to see it. (And me too!) Wish they would announce if it is a boy or girl!

The baby is so sweet: April's baby. It keeps going back and forth between its mom and dad. I'm so happy that it is healthy. There will be a contest to name it. Someone suggested Patience, lol.

Yes!! I've been checking in all day. So glad to see the calf is doing well. So sweet.

Heavens to Betsy, The baby is so squeaky adorable. Life is on hold for a day.

Where's baby giraffe? I looked in and he's gone! Do they take him out sometimes? His mom looked so upset when they were handling him to weigh him.
