bro this is truly a nat geo level documentary. shout out everyone involved you fuckin killed it

Shout-out to the editor for choosing the perfect music and audio levels. Everything about this is beautiful but it's the acoustics that makes it special

This gave me professional nature doc vibes from the very beginning. Wicked cool production, Maya!!

casually drops a nature documentary on a Monday afternoon, love all that you’re doing Maya.

Watching Maya's content has made me look at life and the world around me differently. I appreciate the world and the things living here so much more.

As a brazilian, I'm honored to have your presence in my country. Enjoy our nature!

Maya this video inspired me to buy a purple martin nest box. In my state, Pennsylvania, their population has dropped 2/3s in the past 50 years, so I hope even a small difference, makes a difference.

My dad always built and put up houses for purple martins at every place we lived. I didn't know the full story of their situation, this was really cool to watch and helped me better understand something my dad would do!

This video was suggested from one of my Purple Martin pages. I am so glad that I came to watch. As a Purple Martin landlord for only 6 year’s, this video was incredible. I am infatuated with the birds and get so happy when they “come home” every year. This this trip is on my bucket list!!

This series is awesome, this is the first time I have heard of the plight of the purple martins, so your outreach definitely worked for me! I will be donating, and showing my mom this because she would love to help. Thanks Maya, and the whole crew!

My Mimi, who has long passed, loved her purple martins and we would spend hours in her backyard listening to them chirp and sing and watching their babies grow up. Seeing them learn to fly and leave the nest was such a rewarding experience. They hold a special place in my heart and every year when I see them come to my house it reminds of my time with my Mimi. Thank you Maya for giving them some spotlight, they are truly the cutest little birds.

My husband and I have been purple martin keepers for about 5 years. Every single year we add more houses. Right now we have about 60 nest boxes. If we see we are running short we have about 8 more nests we can provide with gourds and boxes. I love to hear them in the summer. They really love where we live. We have a farm and have 2 ponds right at the house. The ponds are full of dragon flies, their favorites. I hope everyone that sees this will realize how important these little birds are.

This makes me want to build a whole sanctuary for Purple Martins in my backyard. What an inspirational video Maya. Great job!

Great Video Maya. I shared it with Oklahoma Purple Martin Group on facebook and donated. The work you and your team do is so important. Thank you for helping me get informed on such amazing parts of our world.

This is really neat. I had no idea Purple Martin's relied this heavily on us for providing breeding grounds, though it makes sense with the habitat loss and invasive species present in NA today. I also just learned they breed as far north as Southern Ontario where I am, so will have to go looking once they arrive this spring. This is really important information to share with the world. Thanks Maya and team for putting together a good production and sharing it on your platform.

Holy. Crap. You absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. Incredible job editing and what an awesome adventure!

Awesome video. Smiled the whole way through. Maya killed with the structure and Flip did an AWESOME job with the cameras. Good job Alveus. Hope you guys appear in Brazil more frequently, we'd love that! Gotta share this with my fellow Brazilians

Maya "Attenborough" Higa! This video was sooo good! Literally couldn't have been better, especially loved hearing from Joe on the history of purple martins!!

You're the coolest person, I never thought I'd watch an animal channel as much as I do.

I cried so many times watching this video. I grew up watching Steve Irwin and lost interest in animal conservation after he passed. This channel helped me get back into it. Thank you for all the work you do. All the love from India!

okay maya this is actually nuts, the editing and planning for the intro alone is absolutely great. 10/10

Been waiting for this for so long! Cant wait to see the purple martins again

WAITT THIS IS GIVING DISCOVERY CHANNEL I LOVE

Okay, that made me cryyyyyy. The damned music when they alllll flew over her 😭❤

My late grandfather always had a purple martin house in his backyard so this brought back feelings I haven't felt in years

Cool birds. I think we should save em.

Incredible job to everyone who helped make this possible. Maya, Flip, PMCA/Joe, the viewers, and purple martins of coursee. To Maya especially, I've gained a deeper understanding about the natural world and my perspective of it has completely changed because of you. The work you do is important, and your value is immeasurable, thank you ❤

This is so good, genuinely almost made me cry. I was so moved to try and make a home since I probably wouldn't be able to by one (which is only 30 something), but I live in a city that's too polluted for them to stay in (NOOOOO!) So I urge everyone to set something up, even if its small. And maybe I'll look into birds that are similar that I would be able to help out.

I'm so emotional watching this god. This perfectly highlights how individual actions are so important and truly can make a difference, even if it's as small as 1 little bird house for a very cool bird

Flip did such a good job with filming all the stuff, big props to him! This is far more professional than anticipated to be honest :D Maya also does a really good job in presenting this. She is just amazing

This is truly amazing! Maya, you really are one of the coolest people I know. Thank you for all of this!

Dude I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this video for so long

I wasn't that aware of purple martins before, but they look like really cool birds! Thank you for bringing awareness to them

maya and the team - this is so well done, holy shit. just reading through the comments shows how many people you've informed and inspired about purple martins (myself included), you're truly making an impact. there's a lot of darkness in the world, but stuff like this is such a breath of fresh air, and it's so motivating. thank you alveus, pmca, wwf, and every other organization doing amazing work like this ❤

The production quality on this doc is insane. Great job Maya and everyone else involved!

Wow, what a great video. Flip’s videography & editing are top notch!

Maya, I mean this with not a hint of irony or sarcasm: You are truly a treasure to conservation and I thank you for all your efforts.

Production is soo good Maya. Thank you for learning me something. I show your videos to my 2 year old nephew if he ever sits still long enough and we both enjoy it.

This is by far the best video you've ever made in my opinion Maya. Incredible Work. Thank you for what you are doing.

ohh! we have these nesting boxes here in Columbus, OH. I just assumed they were for any kind of bird, good to know its for an important cause and species at risk! I learned something new! awesome video and editing. (maybe we see more something like this with other animals??)

purple martins are so so cool thank you for making a video on them!!

This is a next level production! The content, the shots, the editing. I love it.

The production of this video is wild. This was so informative and fun to watch. Just donated to support the research

I’ve been waiting for this vid to drop ever since you mentioned it on stream in January. The quality is so high and it’s such an important message. I hope you can do more videos like this in the future because you have the gift to go far and wide to spread awareness and inspire change for the better in this world.

Hats off to both you and Flip! This is an awesome and very professional video! You are killing it!

This video was incredible Maya. Never have a been more glued to the screen watching then this one. Extremely motivating both personally and overall.

Holy (baby) Cow, this was one of the best nature documentaries I've ever seen. You all absolutely killed it. MAD respect for the level of quality and the dedication. To everyone who says, KZfaq will never reach the quality of TV-Productions, THIS should change your mind.

SO HYPED FOR THIS MAYA!

wow! i am one of those people that always thought ur vlogs where good enough and i very much enjoy them so each time when u mentioned working so hard on these bigger videos i shrugged it off.. but yeah, damn worth it! from the planning ahead in your script, the great camerawork (thanks flip!!), the excellent cutting with all that cool b-roll... plus a highlight being the pokemon music. that shit tingles something in my brain. very well done Maya and team! keep up the good work and great on the fpundation to give u ghat opportunity ❤

this is literally on par with most tv aired, heavily produced shows, blown away. you are crazy natural as a reporter. good vid

These videos will be your legacy. Sure, learning to do an ollie or whatever is fun, but these ones are the actual important ones. Thank you for making these videos! :)

This is absolutely incredible!!! Thank you for sharing this experience and teaching us about the purple martins :)

Maya, I am loving every second of all the Brazil blogs. you so rock tiny woman. Besides being so pretty and tiny, you are also so brave, intrepid, and resilient. Rained on, sweated out, eating bugs, and non-stop adventuring and travelling. Just so fun, informative and amazing. You have brought attention to so many conservation aspects.

this is stunning!!! was so excited to watch this after your brazil vlogs

Love the editing and your dedication 👏🏼

OMG OMG I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITEEEED FOR THIIIIS FOR SO LOOOONG

Great documentary style video! The editing and music are just perfect and elevate the content so much more. Props to everyone involved and keep em coming!

This was incredible, Maya and Flip!! I watched your vlogs leading up to this and the final product did not disappoint. As long as your schedule (and wallet ofc) can abide it, i'd love to see more of these international "on site" documentaries where you educate us on organisms of the area!

This is such a beautiful video maya. Thank you for making it and for educating us more about purple martins and how important it is to help these birds.

this is awesome! you can really tell the attention to detail you put in this video and how important it is for you! thank you for always teaching us new things maya!

Amazing story, beautiful filming, tiny birbs, a triumph! I see what Maya was saying about this being some of the most important work she's ever done.

Thanks for the informative Brazil videos. You have definitely inspired me to start down the Purple martin nest boxing path now. Amazing work Maya!

This is such a good video on many levels. Near everything was brand new information to me besides your previous two vlogs. You killed it!

The video turned out amazing Maya !!!! Congrats to you and flip for such a great trip

Gosh well done Maya, flip, and everyone involved with this video. So so beautiful.

Videos like this bring me peace in these worrying times. Thank you, Maya and everyone involved!

Maya you're literally so cool and these Brazil vids have been so incredible to watch. Thank you for always trying to spread awareness on these matters and lovely creatures. ❤

this is such a good watch with so much good information, excellent job to everyone involved!

You are slowly becoming my favorite youtuber. Super cool video. The storytelling and and the editing and the fact that these bird migrate thousands of kilometers is insane! I love it

This is an amazingly cool, really well planned, wonderfully executed video! Great work!!

Congrats Maya & Team on an incredible video!! Thoroughly enjoyed learning about these birds and what we can do to help.

Beautiful video. Congratulations Maya ❤

No pauses, no skips, no scrubbing. This video is a definite watch for anyone who is wondering what we can do to continue our efforts in saving the planet and the creatures that inhabit it with us. They deserve this planet just as much as we do.

I’m going to look into nesting boxes in my area. Thank you so much for sharing this stuff with us, maya!

Very cool! I really really really hope this gets the views that this deserves. Very cool to hear music that doesn't normally accompany Maya vids

This was truly a dope ass video. Such good vibes and an awesome message. Great work Maya’s team!

this is so awesome thank you maya

This was so well done, and super fun to watch!

Really good video! hope to see more of this quality

You have an absolutely amazing channel, Maya. Thank you for bringing awareness about this! ❤

This content is the best I've ever seen Maya. PLEASE do more of this.

Great video thanks Maya & Joe

glad to see it all come together great video!

This was a great documentary, just short enough that I could watch it without too much commitment and still learn something interesting about a really cool bunch of birds. Thank you so much for providing easily consumable and interesting educational content!

Woah amazing quality, good video Maya

Amazing video maya! ❤

Love all the work you're doing, can really see how much this means to you all and this passion is exactly what we need to push the drive for conservation!!

Genuinely an amazing documentary, well done!
