I mean standing around awkwardly eating snacks while no one goes in the pool is the most pool party thing i’ve heard of

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

9:23 this shot is more thrilling and cinematic than most modern-day blockbusters. The framing here is utterly brilliant, the blocking of Maya and the out-of-focus ducks seem to imply their schism as she occupies and dominates the right of the frame. The distance between them is clearly a motif, as the ducks flee from the scene. And the pool, well it just writes itself. Will the ducks have their pool party? Only time will tell.

[@mayahiga]

Exquisite analysis

[@mikedacoolnerd788]

It gives me strong U.S Office vibes if I'm being honest. Even down to Maya's awkwardness in this moment.

Maya relates to ducks

[@bummycado]

i like how the dog guilt tripped you into giving the goggles

[@gubgub3275]

​@@empty_headedThey're livestock guardian dogs. They have very little human contact in domestic spaces so it's most likely that this particular dog is the bottom of the pack in regards to the other dogs. With how friendly all of the other animals are, it's VERY unlikely that any of them are mistreated. Maya wouldn't stand for it if they were.

[@Khy._]

Maya having a tiny mental breakdown after the cameraman asked the employee for help is such a fucking mood. Asbolutely loving the YT content recently Mayo, plus the editor and cameraman are amazing at what they do! I even had to click that bell just so I don't miss an upload (this is not a paid comment)

The insane hesitancy right from the start, the complete lack of planning and the dejected way of execution made this actually hilarious! It's as if social anxiety itself directed and executed this video 😁 Can relate.

The anxiety was PALPABLE! Gosh I love Maya so much. I’m so proud of her for overcoming that fear. The ducks have the BEST neighbor ever

[@griffithmoderator264]

Nothing like a nice summer day watching 19 ducks seemingly reject a heartfelt gift without realizing the fun they're missing out on. At least the geese enjoyed the pool. Truly a Sunday to remember.

[@deannaandrade7348]

Appreciated how the earlier foreshadowing with the one goose tied directly into the plot twist at the end. Poetic cinema.

[@alexbarboza2393]

i think this was one of my most favorite vlogs i've seen on the entirety of youtube. maya's emotional journey was so funny and the chapter titles and the subs were so funny! *not a single neuron is firing in that little coconut* should either dig a hole for one of those big round blue plastic baby pools for the ducks cos i think it would be easier for them to just walk into a tiny pond

[@mymelodyblues]

The sound of the gunshots really added to the ambiance of the video lmao great vid maya!

This is the content we needed, Maya! Thank you! Also I learned to use my anxiety as an energy source sometimes, but easier said then done. QUACK QUACK

It would have been a lot better if she was wearing a bikini in the pool but that's just my opinion.

This may be the best video on KZbin

[@skullseybones]

Hey i love this video! You saw a need for enrichment for these animals and provided it! That's so much more than most people can do on their own! I've personally seen ducks react much better to shallower options filled with treats (like peas), so I'm glad you showed the difference between them and geese. I'd watch an entire stream of the geese just having fun in the pool tbh, they seem so content. Thank you maya❤

[@meaghanmooney6236]

ducks are one of my favorite animals so this made me so happy i just found all your videos not long ago and i love the work that you do for animals so this just makes me so happy to see and i want to thank you for all that you do !!!!!
