18:34 siren knew this video was an important one, she sang happy birthday the clearest i've ever heard her do

[metagan]

I have seen maya give this tour 20+ times but I never get tired of it. Always learn something new each time. Thank you for spreading awareness, and giving more insight on tiny homes!!

[squeedum]

I follow the Alveus Sanctuary channel. Maya is one of the few content creators that I find really interesting. What she's done at Alveus is amazing. Her knowledge is incredible.

[cristina_h]

That yard does not look crazy, It is just how Mother Nature wants it. Thank you for your amazing work

[kiwigirljacks]

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

[ianburns]

Maya and her team do an amazing job in educating humans about animals and the environment. If you're not an Alveus Sanctuary YouTube viewer, you should be!🥰

[garywarren]

My daughter shows me Maya videos all the time. Love the house and sanctuary.

[roguered]

The house is really cute (especially the high ceilings) but I just love the sanctuary and how much attention she pays to making sure every animal has an appropriate and stimulating habitat. So grateful for people like Maya!

[ShelmaReactions]

Love her house and love how you featured the whole Sanctuary and showcased it. The fact the marmosets are called Appa & Momo is just awesome.

18:28 omg siren is singing her birthday shanty. for ppl who dont know, siren used to know the happy birthday song but shortened it to just "BIRTHDAY!". but they've been teaching her a sea shanty, except she sings happy birthday as a sea shanty? so that's why it sounds like she's going "birthday-oooo...."

[benderbg]

Maya is amazing. She is the proof of how one person's passion can turn into a heaven for so many wild animals.

[Jbolo]

The Mosaic Backsplash in the kitchen is so cute. I love it

[bonitaberger]

Amazing to see such a dream come true. Utter admiration for this wonderful girl and her wonderful place. I was a cat rescuer for 20 years. Now just a disabled senior with my remaining four cats hoping to keep a roof over my head. You go girl!

[amymoorehead]

I have never seen an emu that was as friendly as Stompy. You are doing a great job. I can tell you love the animals, they all seem to trust you.

[airick]

Maya and all her staff are so knowledgeable and well-spoken. They are great “ambassadors” for their sanctuary’s ambassadors.

[ct]

I would absolutely recommend giving Maya a follow. She's a wonderful person, she's doing amazing work, and she's funny. Love seeing random internet celebs showing up at Alveus to tour and learn, she really is making this accessible to a new audience.
It's also great seeing her community and so many other streamers and YT personalities getting involved in fundraising and education. Gives me hope for future generations.

[TamarLitvot]

I'm so impressed with Maya -- she created this wonderful sanctuary and is so clearly attached to all the inhabitants. I hope she's able to keep her sanctuary going since there are so many animals in need.

[Jennifer]

I used to manage a farm animal sanctuary and this young lady has my admiration and respect. What better way to spend your time on earth than to educate humans about the importance of respecting all species of animals/bugs/birds, etc. Wonderful, wonderful. 💞

[thereseshine]

Maya! Wow! For such a young lady, you sure have built an animal kingdom! I really enjoyed seeing your home and sanctuary. You're one special lady for sure! Your animals love you! ❤

[maryhart]

Kudos to Maya!! The young will save our world💚❤🥰🙌🙏
