NY - Giraffe Watch: April, 15, due to give birth at Animal Adventure Park

[Bravo]

A lot of jerking her head around to her hind end and flicking her tail. Vet was in a bit ago.

She may be trying to get the flies off her. They seem to be driving her nuts.

And I was so sad for Oliver because the vet kept giving April treats and didn't give him any.

Oliver looks antsy, too - not sure if he is upset about the treats, or if he knows she is in pain.

She sure is restless today. On the move constantly.

Too cold for flies. Think they just like to flick their tails.

As for the hay throwing, I know in horses, they learn all types of vices when stalled too much. Cribbing, biting their tongue, flapping their lips, swaying, etc. It's neurotic behavior due to stress. I think some of the behavior we notice with the giraffes is also stress, boredom related.

I noticed lights are off already tonight. And we wait and see!
