[@Cole_McGill]

​@@owokyy1423 if you go back to some early streams, you can hear some fairly clear "happy birthday to you". She even used to repeat it a little(like you would when singing it). I don't think we'll ever get to hear the "to you" part again.

[@SarcasticQuokka]

My thoughts exactly

[@kiwigirljacks]

What an inspiring young woman! She’s using modern technology and platforms to enable the running of the sanctuary. I’m impressed.

[@vspence2]

Alveus has a lot of chat interactive features that they can turn on with money donations or subscriptions. One of the things you can do is fill a feeder in the pasture with treats to give to Winnie (though her pet horse, Ace- not part of the sanctuary- often steals it). The team is also working on setting up a system where a donation can trigger a little jingle of music to play for the parrots since Mia, the African Grey, loves to dance to songs. Maya also does special streams on her own channel that tie directly into the sanctuary like animal education, fun events, and even chill hangouts with the animals. She was even chosen to be a 2024 AT&T Twitch Mentor to help teach how to become successful at streaming for new content creators while boosting up and coming streamers on the platform. She’s just an absolutely amazing person and I’m a proud fan of her and her community on Twitch

[@kiwigirljacks]

@@vspence2 incredibly innovative! More rescues and sanctuaries could benefit from this kind of approach, but I know not everyone has the tech savvy to do it (I sure wouldn’t). So good on her for having the know-how and drive to do it! I will check out her content for sure 🙂👍

I'm a big house kind of guy, but I wanted to thank you for donating over half of this episode to Alveus! Maya is truly incredible, inspirational, dedicated and delightfully quirky... I've been a fan of this project since the beginning, though I have never been on twitch. She has the drive to be a Fortune 500 billionaire, but humbly and unselfishly took this route, I don't think I could respect her more than I already do (yes she has help, respect the staff too!). Also, that house looks much smaller with a normal sized human in it!

[@Christiaan-qj8fi]

100%. She seems to be a shockingly rare normal person in such a crazy industry. I’m aware it’s parasocial, but she’s doing good stuff for good reasons.

[@Mike_H76]

@@Christiaan-qj8fi I had a guess at what 'parasocial' meant, but had to look it up to confirm. I'm not into the Tik-Tok, Twitch, or even KZbin live streams... it's weird and definitely parasocial. To me at least, this is a blend between "streamer" and educator... and reaches a generation younger than my own, a generation that rarely interfaces with nature. I don't know how much you watch of her, but one of my favorite things is her suggestion on the meat industry, she says "just try to eat smaller portions"... which is just generally good advice for Americans! She's not confrontational or aggressively idealistic, possibly a bit about using poisons in the garden and squishing bugs, but even then... done in a sweet manner! Good stuff, good reasons. AGREED!

[@morgenmuffel5747]

@@alyssap57 Even if the claim of SA was refuted at a later date (it wasn’t), that has no bearing on what Maya did and does not absolve her of accountability. She still tried to cover up a claim of SA committed by her friend by trying to gaslight the victim to believe that the SA did not occur when she had no evidence of that being the case and told the victim it would be bad for her streaming career if she went public. She even insisted that the victim allow her to edit the Twitlonger she published detailing the allegation in a further effort to protect the reputation of her accused friend. All of those things very much did happen. Don’t try to cover up the wrongdoings of someone you are in a parasocial relationship with. Do better.

[@shanninschannel]

I think this probably was my favorite episode yet! Most likely because I share in her passions On the animal side, with most of my work, life committed to caring for all things with fur, scales, feathers, hair you name it. It chances are it's come into the emergency vet at some point! Having my own sanctuary has been a lifelong consideration, so this just makes me think about it more intensely since I'm in the process of finding a new property for long-term living. Kind of my last permanent place to have out the rest of my years! Incorporating my passions of animals with it would be the ultimate and it's nice to see somebody who's actually started and is doing that process. Very cool! If I had to guess I would think she is a Virgo as well! Fantastic episode and thank you for allowing her to share her story in her own words. Well done and very informative. Her skills for how to be captivating behind the camera or on point. It's pretty hard to take your eye off of what's going on and her entire presence is one that is easy to stay interested. Congratulations on such a beautiful place you have made... It's really awesome! I wish I was close enough to come visit. I'm admittingly not so great on conservation things, I guess beyond recycling because I do that and repurpose anything I possibly can. But having conservation on my mind's front is usually not the case. But after this I will admit she makes you think longer and harder about something. Maybe you did not so much before.

[@alessm2206]

Oh then you'll really enjoy Maya's content. The Alveus Sanctuary youtube and twitch channels have 24 hour livestreams on the animals. Maya does these tours a bit more in depth for other content creators and for her community a few times a month. And on Maya's personal channel, she does fun activities for the animals. She just uploaded a great Purple Martin video while she was in Brazil.

So excited to see Maya and Alveus Sanctuary featured !!! She's an incredible educator and has a wonderful place/team (love that people do this work and just get to be examples of dreams being lived)

[@emuh4451]

i’ve been watching Maya/Alveus Sanctuary for years! She and the other staff are incredible and I would definitely recommend! Plus the animals are so sweet to watch!

[@stevegordon5243]

I love your tiny home! The design is awesome! Thanks for all you do for the critters and the pollinators!

[@christianest-pierre4002]

What an amazing young woman. I'm very impress with her work and sanctuary. Everything seems to be very well thought and put together.

[@Nippleless_Cage]

The crazy thing is she built all this since the end of the pandemic. Alveus Sanctuary is less than 3 years old.

i really admire maya and her dedication to alveus and conservation work. i have started to try to be more low waste and be more mindful of where i get my food and clothes thanks to her streams. i really hope she’s able to reach more audience and ppl learn more about conservation

[@ItsJustValHere]

Same! And thanks to her, I am a bit more conscious about bugs in my house. I moved kinda recently to a house near a national park in my country and every time I see a bug inside now, I try to leave it outside without harming it and I try to be more conscious about the reason they are inside to begin with (I need to clean more often, I need to check the humidity of the room, I need to check if the windows are properly closed, etc) instead of just killing them.

[@MatthewBJ]

YESSS, i'm so happy to see Maya on here, she's my favorite streamer, such a kind-hearted woman~ seeing a celebrity use their platform/wealth to help these innocent animals is so heartwarming, the world needs more people like Maya, thank you for having her on the show, and showing people who may not know her from KZbin/Twitch her beautiful Sanctuary

[@playxdeadxbabyy]

Been following maya for years. What she has accomplished at such a young age is absolutely amazing!

[@miachristensen5444]

Maya is genuinely SUCH an inspiration, shes just so SMART and all around cool its CRAZY

[@kwonderland89]

Nothing but respect for this young lady.

[@MariTheOwl]

I love Maya and what she does, I’ve learned so much about animals and the environment and what I can do to help! Her tiny house is literally the reason why I want one

[@mikabee__]

love to see maya here!! she’s probably my absolute favorite streamer, and i could truly watch hours and hours of her content (and have) 😅

[@icediamonds553]

It's Mayo!! Maya is such an inspiration she does incredible work at her animal sanctuary and everyone should follow and support her! It's great for learning about animals!

[@sproutley1]

Started following Maya and the Alveus Sanctuary a few months ago, and it’s been a treat. Very entertaining and informative. Would thoroughly recommend anyone even remotely interested to check them out!

[@kpopsweetlemon1396]

got goosebumps from the intro. Wow haven't watched this channel is a years. So happy to be back.

[@KreativeInstinct]

You can see how much the animals love her. Every single one. You can almost see the smile on their face or in their eyes.

[@therasarogers1169]

Maya is amazing! I used to go on school field trips to the Charles Paddock Zoo and eventually became a nurse. Maya became a conservationist! Way to go Maya! (I'm from the Central Coast. Go 805!)

[@jasonjavelin]

Maya Higa rules. Her content is awesome and very wholesome and she does a lot for the outdoors and conservation

[@NoWyre]

ive seen Maya do this tour so many times and i will continue to, this is a cool crossover and i'm glad more people are learning about Maya and conservation as a whole. a rare sort of great person in the Twitch industry, using the platform for truly good things.

[@dippdopp]

Great episode! Wish Maya and her sanctuary all the best 👏
