      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

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!

      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 RUclips 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 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.

    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.

      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.

The tiny home is perfection and her life's decision to run/found and open a sanctuary for animals, for conservation and education is so impressive I'm stunned. I would move here tomorrow, she's living my dream....a tiny beautiful home surrounded by Mother Nature and Animals...what more could anyone ask for. Great Job!!!! Kudos to you!!!!

    i love Maya and Alveus. her buying a tiny home when she could very easily have gotten a big house on the property goes to show how dedicated she is to her sanctuary, she's dreaming big and needs the space. her journey and mission is incredible.
    she also does some other videos traveling and showcasing other sanctuary's and non profits, recently she went to brazil to do a video on purple martin birds which was so interesting. I'm glad you did a video on her and her tiny house :)
    Maya is a beautiful person inside and out and a huge role model to me and thousands more :)

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.
