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!

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.

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.

Maya is the epitome of how humans should live. We share this world, no matter what your diet is.

7:58 "That's how they like it, so that's how I like it." Wholesome Maya!

[@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.

[@jasonjavelin]

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

[@ericalampley480]

My favorite episode ever. I love what she's done for them.

MAYAAAA OMG SO PROUD OF HER AND ALVEUS SANCTUARY. she so inspirational 🩷!!

[@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!

[@fangsbrokenrose]

Thank you for the focus on maya’s mission! If anyone thinks it looks interesting, all her videos are a great time!!

[@timthomsonart]

Maya and the team do great work, and there's some hilarious moments with other content creators meeting the animals too - highlight for me was Peachjars crying with joy in the parrot enclosure. Great to see people getting over their fears with bugs and snakes etc too - top content!

Hasan absolutely giddy for Winnie was a good one too 😂So excited for Fuslie and Valkyraes visit this weekend!

[@timthomsonart]

@@melztunes Yep Fuslie and Rae will be fun!

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)

[@Nippleless_Cage]

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

Wow, its always fun when two channels or worlds that you follow (Tiny homes and Live streaming) collide! Great episode, glad you got to spend a lot of the video talking about the sanctuary.

[@shirleyashanti3031]

This vìdeo was top-notch enjoyable. What an awe-inspiring, precious young woman doing great work. Amazing sanctuary. Love her tiny home with so much light and beautiful use of the space. Thank you for sharing this wonder of America, who is the definition of selflessness.

Nothing but respect for this young lady.

I started following Maya when she began livestreaming a few years ago, she is such a great amazing person

[@edwardblanton8069]

Precious young lady who has accomplished so much. Hope my son finds someone who loves nature so much

[@Salmonella4Skin]

Always happy to see Maya getting some awareness for Alveus and her channel! She is an extremely inspiring and humble person who is truly trying to make the world a better place for us all.

[@sherriweber7105]

Great video and great tiny house and what a great sanctuary for the animals. I’m all for what Maya is doing. Love it! Love her house and love her animal sanctuary. Thank you Maya for showing your house and the sanctuary. It’s all very nice. Love it all. And those animals are amazing. Love the parrots singing Happy Birthday and laughing. Thank you for all you do for the animals.

[@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.

[@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!)
