April the Giraffe Giving Birth Live Stream, Latest Updates: Text Alerts Live; Mom-To-Be Regains Appetite in Preparation for Labor
As of this writing, April the Giraffe remains pregnant. One good thing about it, though, is that fans of Animal Adventure Park's latest animal sensation can now sign up for text alerts as opposed to keeping vigil over the livestream feed by the hour.
The official April the Giraffe site has finally enabled signups for real-time updates on April's current status. Subscribers of the service will have the advantage of receiving significant news about April, Oliver and their unborn calf as soon as it happens. Aside from this, they will also enjoy April the Giraffe content that the general viewing audience has not been given access to.
The service costs a one-time charge of $4.99 and messages about April and her family may be sent until May 31. On their official Facebook account, Animal Adventure Park assured subscribers that they will be notified once the labor process finally begins and that messages sent through this service will be reserved for significant content and updates only. The service also promises to send photos of April and her calf during and after birth.
