Is there a link in the OP? Towards the bottom of the first page, Elaine posted a link to the direct feed.

For the newest link go to aprilthegiraffe.com and click on the giraffe cam link there - that's the official live cam. There are a lot of places that are stealing the copyrighted feed - scumbags.

SaveSaveAhhh yes, that's true. That's probably an old archived session by now. Yeah I subscribe to their channel on YouTube to make sure I get the right channel feed. There are a lot of scabby channels out there taking their feed, you're right.

3/28 Evening Update And away we go! April continues to progress in front of our eyes! Mammary development has increased again since this morning! Updated photo in comments. She has been a great sport all day. Very distracted with local group BingPop on site this evening. Traveling from out of town, view their site and APP for things to do during your stay! Broome County is a wealth of "Best Kept Secrets". My prediction was today, as many of you know, and that too will go out the window with my priors - but we are close! Hooves crossed! The April the Giraffe and Calf plush sold out overnight -- we have a 14" April the Giraffe Plush available now but that is also limited! Act fast and grab your apparel - numbers are limited - as is time! Find the store link and other April links at www.Aprilthegiraffe.comWith her current progression, each day we come closer to the anticipated birth and arrival of our newest member of Animal Adventure! Have a great evening (or Day) and keep watching - all can change in a few minutes! Photo of a special guest enjoying the fun that our giraffe encounters can be! Have you been giraffe licked today? WHY NOT!

Wednesday morning, east coast USA. sigh.... eta: actually who knows, there could be a baby there....but the feed seems to be "stuck" or something, unless April is playing statues. She's not moving at all.

Ugh, now I'm dying here....why can't I get a feed from the camera? My video has the little red dot underneath that says "live" but no animal can stand that still for that long. Surely she'd move her tail or an ear...?

Just checked in at 9 am EST. She is just still. Maybe contractions?
oliver is moving so I know it's not stuck.
Oh..there, she lifted her head.

It says they won't confirm active labor but there is "discharge" that has caused them to put everyone on standby.

Her tail was straight out like a stick when I first got on the feeds, but she's since started moving around. I don't know why I'm so fascinated by this. Brookfield Zoo had a calf born a couple years ago and the video is shown on a loop in their area of the zoo. I've seen it a bunch of times. Oh well. Something to pass the time between client calls.

Fingers crossed!!! Poor thing must be so over being pregnant. I got my iPad out and sat it on my desk for the bigger screen.
Her behaviour has been interesting this morning.

You all know that she's going to turn her rump away from the camera at the big moment, right? We'll have to wait for the park to release the footage they'll get from another angle.

Lol..she looked like she was counting contractions there for a sec. Face right at the camera and her lips were moving.

Eeeeeeeeeppp! Could she be close?? Facebook update: 3/29 Late Morning Update We apologize for the late update but it is for good reason. We will not confirm active labor, but we do have discharge that would suggest the count down to calf has begun! Mammary development is on point and picture is in comments. We will keep everyone posted throughout the day with developments. Our team and Vet are on standby. We could be hours away or days - so do not stop your day - but certainly don't stop watching! For those still asking, the Apparel store is open and processing orders as they are made. The April the Giraffe Plush is nearing sell out status! Act fast, we have more than one clock to race now! www.wwsport.com/r/AprilTheGiraffe Giraffe Factoid: Baby Talk To readdress what to expect! From hooves to baby on the ground - could be as quick as 30-60 minutes. Baby will be on average 150# and 6' tall. Within an hour, we want to see baby on its feet. Yes, baby will stumble, fall, and face plant - but it is all part of the process and we cannot intervene. Once standing, we want baby to nurse within the next 60-120 minutes to get the essential colostrum. Our team will not intervene unless we absolutely have to. You will not see us in the stall, but we are all there waiting. We will stay live on youtube throughout the process. Tragedy can strike, and we are prepared, but have faith we will have a safe and sound delivery and calf. Hooves crossed. photo: one of our emojis at www.giraffemoji.com - download yours today!

She's having her lettuce feed from the hand behind the camera. Aw!
What a beautiful, beautiful animal. She makes me grin.
