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.

you're absolutely right. a lot of people doing small things adds up to something HUGE!
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!

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!!

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!

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.

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

You're the coolest person, I never thought I'd watch an animal channel as much as I do.
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!!
WAITT THIS IS GIVING DISCOVERY CHANNEL I LOVE
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
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, that made me cryyyyyy. The damned music when they alllll flew over her 😭❤
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 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.
The production quality on this doc is insane. Great job Maya and everyone else involved!
I wasn't that aware of purple martins before, but they look like really cool birds! Thank you for bringing awareness to them
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.
Dude I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this video for so long
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 ❤
Wow, what a great video. Flip’s videography & editing are top notch!
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??)
This is a next level production! The content, the shots, the editing. I love it.
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.
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
My late grandfather always had a purple martin house in his backyard so this brought back feelings I haven't felt in years
This is truly amazing! Maya, you really are one of the coolest people I know. Thank you for all of this!
This is by far the best video you've ever made in my opinion Maya. Incredible Work. Thank you for what you are doing.
The production of this video is wild. This was so informative and fun to watch. Just donated to support the research
purple martins are so so cool thank you for making a video on 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 ❤
Hats off to both you and Flip! This is an awesome and very professional video! You are killing it!
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.
Cool birds. I think we should save em.
OMG OMG I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITEEEED FOR THIIIIS FOR SO LOOOONG
SO HYPED FOR THIS MAYA!
this is unbelievably incredibly well made
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 video was incredible Maya. Never have a been more glued to the screen watching then this one. Extremely motivating both personally and overall.
probably your greatest video yet, it's so beautiful and i love the documentary style
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! :)
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, KZread will never reach the quality of TV-Productions, THIS should change your mind.
This is absolutely incredible!!! Thank you for sharing this experience and teaching us about the purple martins :)
Maya! the production quality on this was next level, all your prep for this made it great, can't wait to see more!
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
Maya, what a fantastic video to inspire the next generation of purple martin home builders
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.
