What does Mya love most about nature?

"I love birds, bunnies and bugs! Being outside with flowers and trees make me happy. I love travelling to new places to see how nature looks different."


What is Mya's favorite animal—and why?

"Birds!!! Because I want to fly and they fly! I like learning about new birds in books and my merlin app and then seeing them in nature. I can identify many different kinds by the way they look, sound or fly, even if they are female or male. My favourite bird is a Tufted Puffin, because they fly, swim, run, hop and dig burrows."


What is Mya's favorite outdoor activity?

"Bird watching! I saw a rare Taiga flycatcher bird from Asia in Vancouver, BC and Egyptian geese in California even though they're from Africa. I want to help protect birds and other animals so they can live long happy lives."
