a tour of my animal sanctuary

[@Sivvii]

crazy how much alveus has grown in such a short period of time! If y’all don’t know alveus twitch channel is on 24/7 with live cams of the animals! would love to see y’all there!

[@cosmostardust5624]

GREAT PLUG!!❤

Does twitch prevent them from live-streaming on KZbin as well?

A yearly update on the enclosures and animals would be sick! Hope this becomes a yearly series.

[@georgiasumby6092]

As a training vet nurse I can not CAN NOT fault anything about this sanctuary one of the best sanctuaries I’ve ever seen abides by the 5 freedoms and domains (search them up if you’re interested in animal welfare) keeps all the animals separated that need to be separated, gives the emu a pool to swim in, they love water. I’m going to show this to my lecturers as an example of good animal husbandry so they can show their students that come after me. Love from Australia

[@handroids1981]

Hey fellow Aussie. That's good to know. Can you tell the Gov to let us have Quakkas and Quolls as pets, please?

[@georgiasumby6092]

@@handroids1981 would love too but I do feel like you would have to have a license to keep them personally.

[@st8ofgray]

@@handroids1981absolutely not???? they're wild animals NOT pets. there are plenty of unique domesticated animals for you to have as pets.

[@jordynensor2081]

@handroids1981 quokkas can contract fatal diseases from just being touched by humans. that’s why there’s a fine in place if you touch one.

[@youreinvalid8493]

​​@@handroids1981why would you want to keep wild animals that would be incredibly unhappy as a pet? Odd.

Ok. You're right. It kind of is everything.

[@newsheo5822]

17:20 I was worried Maya would get headbutted by the goats but then I noticed Oatmeal wasn't there

[@ShaneH42]

I’m remembering when it was just Maya with a temperamental backpack and not enough pixels, it was hard to see what she was doing sometimes, let alone figure out the layout of the place. The way the sanctuary and production quality have improved is outrageous and can only be achieved with hard work, dedication and love

[@alphaengine3048]

04:10 was funny af

[@happy_camper]

I got kinda emotional watching this. Your love and care for these animals, as well as your passion for educating others, is so damn inspiring.

[@tymmmmmmmmmmm]

maya touring us to her fun palace is what i needed today

[@keeper6458]

Me too

[@jaydengreen595]

She fr reignites my passion for animals I'd love to do what she currently is doing one day.

[@seanathanbeanathan]

I tell people that parrots are an excellent pet if you want a flying toddler who lives 15~70 years, has wire cutters on their face, and is so intelligent you have to plan your entire life around them to prevent depression. Their biggest expense aside from food is toys and you will be replacing every individual toy within about a month, and they need a lot of them I have four (3 green cheeks and a canary wing), and you can *feel* the screams on your eardrums

[@seanathanbeanathan]

The upside to this is that I always have a way to get out of plans 😂

[@NicsTrueNorth]

All bird owners are the most aggressive bird haters when someone asks if they should get a bird

[@seanathanbeanathan]

@@NicsTrueNorth The good ones are, at least 😂

[@the_bridge6817]

I haven't work with animals couple years now, and watching this reminded me how much I loved it! You have a beautiful property and a good heart!

[@blueflamedabi2403]

''im sorry if this is boring'' what on earth are you even talking about hahaha i feel like everybody and anybody that watches this love it and are losing their minds throughout the entire video, you are a for real hero!

[@driverjayne]

I will never get sick of the camera panning over to donkey face. It's the best gag ever.

[@Azrael2812]

The parrot stopping his chattering right as Maya is done talking is peak comedy to me. I know it is probably annoying if you live with these animals every day but to me, as someone who doesn't own one of those, it is exactly what makes me love them.

[@glitch8949]

No matter how many times you give a tour of alveus, it never gets old. Can't wait to see what comes to the future of alveus

[@sammyjcomedyable]

I LOVE that you're spending time uploading to YT, I just hardly have time for streams unfortunately, but the videos make it easy to play before bed or while I eat etc!

[@caitcat0613]

i adore alveus and it’s so amazing to watch the sanctuary grow :’) what you’re doing is wonderful!!!

[@sunsetter2717]

I'm new here to the channel, but what you're doing here has been a dream of mine since I was in middle school. This is so cool to see and amazing how well learned you are with all of these beautiful animals! This video honestly inspired me a lot!

[@lylajoyreynolds6103]

Thank you maya just in general for teaching me and others about animals and what happens to them in our world. Thank you maya for being such a great person for us and animals :)

[@iamFracture]

Keep going Maya! Proud of you that's a lot of responsibility, nothing but respect.

[@Shorado]

Maya reinvigorated my love for animals in general and made me want to continue my initial dream of taking care of animals. Alveus Sanctuary is such a small blip on the world but has such a huge impact. I can only hope to do something as life changing for animals in general like Alveus has done for me.

[@naomi0connor]

Maya, i absolutely love your work. I’m a newer subscriber and I don’t have twitch so you may have explained this already, but i would love to hear your story on how you started your sanctuary! This line of work is right up my alley but i don’t know the first thing about how or where to start.

[@kemalgozler1706]

first you should volunteer at dog/cat shelters, local wildlife rehab centers. if you wanna work with animals you need to start very bottom to gain experience

[@vladlenal]

Maya is my favourite Disney princess

I love jalapeño he just seems so sweet and I want to hug him 🥹

[@jaizo_827]

came for the animals, stayed for the bathroom review. 10/10 indeed.

[@laura6874]

i've been getting more and more into conservation ever since i started following you ❤ i became a member of ZSL Zoo recently and have been going there all the time to draw the animals (my first reason for joining was to beef up my art portfolio), but i have talks and lectures booked to attend there and have been getting into different local conservation efforts - i've always loved animals but you make conservation work seem a lot more approachable!

[@lordofentropy]

Thank you so much for taking care of these animals, especially with such attention to their needs in their enclosures and encouraging their foraging behaviors. It's inspiring you've put all your own personal resources, time, and energy into it.

[@ctrlshiftn2132]

[@STSGuitar16]

When you actually think about it, it is absolutely wild that there are animals that can literally speak to you and understand what you’re saying sometimes. I mean, think about it: freakin parrots can actually talk to you and even answer questions intelligently. Crazy. We take that for granted.

[@iagoweiss8589]

Oh wow here in Brazil I had a macaw that was just like Tico, same name as well. He died early 2023, so seeing this now remembered me of him. Love the sanctuary!

[@jellycatfish]

Hello Maya! I hope you're doing well. You may never see this. I don't know if you saw the lastest video of Save A Fox yesterday, they're currently trying to buy out a fox farm by November 1st to save 500 foxes. If they cannot do it, they will be pelted. I know you already have 2 foxes. I don't know if you may be in contact with Mikayla and Ethan already. I'm just saying this, but if they manage to raise enough funds, I don't know if your sanctuary would be in a position to take in a fox? No pressure, obviously, you already have a lot on your plate. I'd just love my 2 favorite sanctuaries to work together. Anyway, as always, this is a great video. Thank you for everything that you do and how you help animals every day.

[@stephgreen3070]

I was wondering if anyone would mention SaveaFox ! Wish I had more money to contribute every month to Alveus and SaveaFox. Both my favorite animal sanctuaries. Big props to Maya and Mikayla for dedicating their lives and money to saving animals!

[@itsdragoninawagon]

[@SheelaNaGig]

They actually are! Connor’s (one of the keepers) mom is coming in and creating a pollinator garden. They talk a lot about their future plans and other stuff on the Alveus twitch channel and Maya’s personal twitch channel. Their keeping streams are one of my favorite. I highly recommend!

[@titanveach]

Any Aussies that are asking, "Quolls are wild animals that have not been domesticated. While some individuals may be raised in captivity for conservation or research purposes, they are not suitable as pets. Quolls are known for their wild instincts and behaviors, making them difficult to tame and care for in a domestic setting. Quolls are fascinating creatures with unique characteristics and behaviors. They are nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night, and they are skilled hunters, preying on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. Quolls are also known for their distinctive markings and their powerful jaws. However, despite their intriguing nature, quolls remain wild animals that are best observed and appreciated in their natural habitat. There have been some discussions and research into the possibility of domesticating quolls, but this is still a long way off and would require significant effort and time. Domestication is a complex process that involves selective breeding over many generations to change the behavior and physiology of an animal to make it more suitable for living with humans. Quolls have not undergone this process, and they retain their wild instincts and behaviors. While some individuals may have positive experiences with quolls raised in captivity, it is important to remember that these animals are not domesticated and should not be treated as pets. Quolls require specialized care and attention, and they may pose risks to human health and safety. It is best to admire quolls from a distance and support conservation efforts to protect their populations in the wild."
