I never expected a harpy eagle to sound like a freakin DUCK 🦆

[@mr_silver_eyes]

And here I always thought all eagles screeched or chattered!

[@alveolate]

my guess is they're so large and powerful already that they don't need to waste any further energy with their vocalisations also this makes me think that t-rexes made cute noises lmao

[@ethernet389]

@@mr_silver_eyesbald eagles actually sound like a small bird

[@mr_silver_eyes]

@@ethernet389 yes, I knew that. That’s why I said eagles also chattered.

[@Inv1ns1bl]

Yeah the actual “eagle” sound comes from the Red Tailed Hawk.

[@TomMinnow]

8:20 saw a turkey vulture from a distance at the beach, I thought "what the hell is a chicken doing out here" Then it opened its wings and I ceased my approach lol

the phone camra thing is radiation, from the X-rays the white dots are the actual rays

[@Tiana.Lunar77]

Ohhhh that’s cool!

[@davepastern]

you get similar results with radioactive lenses (some from the 50s to 70s are coated with Thorium Oxide - it gives off Alpha radiation as opposed to Beta or Gamma radiation).

[@vesperious]

is it okay for her phone lol

[@Blanc2020]

Radiation can cook some of your pixels, but I don’t think it did anything because she would know the moment she takes a picture and some pixels are the wrong color. X-rays are not too powerful in those machines.

[@opliko]

Bro if only valkyrae was my X ray bro please like bro (joke)

[@morganqorishchi8181]

8:58 I would unironically love to see a mukbang with a vulture. They're such misunderstood, important birds. Also they're adorable.

[@ninin11]

i think they might be too stinky for a mukbang unfortunately

[@lessgooo4267]

These are birds that I see the most in Southern, Mo. They like to fly in front of your car when you pass roadkill lol

[@HK-gm8pe]

have heard that in Africa they are one of the fastest declining birds, if they are gone then its going to be a huge problem, soo important birds

Truly loved learning about these birds. World bird sanctuary deserve more recognition for the work that they do

[@andrewedis9907]

0:50 she irradiated us and I kinda enjoyed it

[@joz-]

I would be crying for real. I'm in school for conservation biology and I want to work with birds. Harpy Eagles are a dream bird I would love to work with or even just meet once. They're so intimidating but so silly and endearing at the same time. Same with the vultures!! Black vultures and turkey vultures are some of my favorites to bird watch, they have some interesting little personalities and relationships.

[@Kiki-reads]

You should definitely watch the full vod if you haven’t, it was a lot of fun meeting so many birds

[@ShesAaRebel]

The little hops at 7:30 was so darn cute, I laughed and cried at the same time.

[@miachristensen5444]

Dude everyone in conservation is doing such an AMAZING job i love hearing peoples incredible passion for these things

[@Kiki-reads]

Enthusiastic passion brews new nature lovers and activists, love it. ❤

[@kenzieharper5218]

Back in 2016 Wild Bird Sanctuary helped me get care for a nest full of Chimney Sweeps that fell through the chimney of my apartment. They’re were absolutely wonderful to work with

[@tragedyshero72]

I watched the VOD of this stream and went and donated to world bird sanctuary. I was impressed with the work and education they do.

[@wubnoxious]

that ladies barred owl call was epic, i have a family of them in my yard and that is all I hear (and their mating call that sounds like screaming monkeys 😂)

[@poulmadsen7969]

@0:40 - it was jaw dropping to watch the inside of the luggage scanner at work. I've never seen anything like it! Thanks for sharing, oh, I loved your video, loved to watch the vultures, the owl and eagles. Thank you so much

[@Magstarcutie]

i love mudflap i hope he liked his plane ride

[@rain_in_space5788]

[@Awesomeman14]

Shoebill Stork - Many humans are not much taller than five feet, so shoebills are definitely large birds! They can also weigh up to about 12 pounds, making them a formidable part of the animal kingdom.

[@andrewedis9907]

13:50 That's a big duck

[@magpye5623]

Fun lil story: I was sitting alone in my garage one rainy night, playing the guitar and all the sudden I started hearing the most crazy shrieking noises coming from the sky. It sounded like vampires or demons were circling me but I couldn’t see anything and it was terrifying but also so hypnotic. I looked it up after and I’m pretty sure that it must have been a barn owl or two. Never knew they sounded like that, it was seriously cool!

[@Angel-xs6sz]

I’ve been to both the bird and wolf sanctuary mentioned in this video! It was of the best days of my road trip last year

[@tommypiffington3374]

A small Harpy😅 it’s the size of her torso

[@zakishemisa6275]

If my memory serves me right the cause of the white pixels while Maya's phone is in the scanner is from the radiation interfering with the phone's recording.

[@GoldieBoBoldie]

Learning about conservation just gives me so much joy and idk why, but I just want to say thank you Maya for helping me discover this passion and for all the work you do, both at Alveus and spotlighting other conservationists

[@Kiki-reads]

If you can, use that passion to help your community, it’s a great way to meet like-minded friends you can gush over this stuff with :)

[@yaboyjay7202]

Was very clever to go to a bird sanctuary first day of the NFL season. I know I was not the only Eagles (or other bird related team) fan who just HAD to donate 😅

[@AntonioAcai]

[@Sam-Pereira]

Maya, watching you has always put a big smile on my face but I've never been able to place the reason why. I'm honestly sure now it's just that your passion for what you do is so infectious and endearing that it can warm anyones heart.

[@jasminelambert3753]

I live like 5 hours from this sanctuary and I think I’m going to plan a trip to go visit next summer! Thank you Maya for spotlighting such great organizations and showing people what they might not even know is around them!

Crazy how Maya was less than five minutes away at a place I've visited so many times. Love the World Bird Sanctuary and Lone Elk Park. Love from St. Louis!

[@iseetheWAYVision]

seeing the growth of alveus is crazy and seeing other places in such a fun way is everything ~

[@poorsocialskills]

9:30 Bro its so sad that carrion feeding birds get a bad wrap they're so dang cool Edit: im pretty sure that the reason why carrion feeding birds in india are endangered is cuz there is a religion called Zoroastrianism and the Zoroastrians had these buildings where they would put their dead on the top of these building and the birds would eat them as a last good deed (for the dead person) and the indian government made the use of these buildings illegal (my info is based on fragmented memory of my obbsesive interest in Zoroastrianism so plz do ur own research and feel free to correct me)

[@poorsocialskills]

Bro religion is so goddamn interesting istg (no pun intended)

[@stevenbarr7125]

I think it is also due to a drug (diclofenac) used on cattle that was dangerous in the birds. While it has been banned in India, it is still used due to low cost. It is also still used in some European countries.

[@poorsocialskills]

@@stevenbarr7125 ah I didn't know about that makes sense tho

[@jmanius1]

It's mainly the drug that is used on cattle. Lots of Indians prefer having vultures around as they take care of dead cattle carcasses (which ironically is also the reason why the drug has reduced their numbers so drastically)

[@Yuhhuh1]

These are known as "Sky burials" and are actually the most eco-friendly way to choose to be buried. The vultures and monks that practiced this tradition formed a sort of symbiotic relationship, the birds could always expect a meal when they saw the funeral, and would efficiently return their remains back to the earth. Most other forms of burials introduce huge amounts of greenhouse gases, especially cremation which is incredibly wasteful and releases a ton of CO2. Seems incredibly foolish to ban a practice that imo is a net positive for both the climate and the environment

I live in St. Louis and I've been here a lot. It's amazing. Our zoo is great too. Recently some people went down to Tahiti and reintroduced and extinct snail back into the wild. One of the people is a regular at my brothers restaurant (We both work food service there)

cash and banshee are my favorites. love seeing the employees look so happy to be interacting with the birds :)

[@just_some_donkus]

the names for the animals were all so great, mudflap is iconic

[@Boruma_]

In regards the barn owl called Banshee. I was kayaking nearby where I live in west cork, Ireland, where there is bioluminescence. Locals believe that a barn owl would dive into the water for food and come up covered in the bioluminescence and screech before or after. Hence the banshee was born.
