Alaskan Bush People Bombshell: Bird Brown Breaks Down Over ‘Scary’ Health Battle
Throughout “Alaskan Bush People” star Bird Brown’s “scary” tumor battle and “rough” recovery from surgery, the 28-year-old admits she hopes to be as strong as her mom one day. Her mother, Ami Brown, is a 59-year-old stage 3 lung cancer survivor, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2017 and endured her own frightening journey.
Bird, whose full name is Amora Jean Snowbird Brown, is known for starring in the Discovery Channel original reality series “Alaskan Bush People” with her mom, her sister Rain Brown and her late father Billy Brown, who died of a seizure at age 68 in 2021. Over the weekend, Bird took to Instagram to share a recent photo of her mom in a heartfelt Mother’s Day post. Alongside the photo of Ami smiling in front of a beautiful sunset, Bird wrote, “Happy mothers day mom I couldn’t ask for a better mom or a better role model.”
“Thank you for always being there I love you so very much,” Bird, known as @snowbird907brown on Instagram, continued. “And I hope you know how special you are I hope to someday be half as strong as you because no one can be as strong as you. Happy Mother’s Day!!”
Her mom, who goes by @Amibrownwolfpackmama on social media, took to the comments to say, “Thank you my sweet Baby Bird! That means the world, to me.” “You far surpass me, at being strong!” Ami, who prides herself in being a mom of seven and grandmother to eight, said. “Thank you for your sweet, wonderful words of love!! I love you bunches!!” In an earlier interview with People magazine about her cancer journey, Ami, who has since been declared cancer free, admitted, “It was very scary. But I never gave up hope.” Mother’s Day came just days after Bird celebrated one year since getting emergency surgery to remove two precancerous tumors.
She shared a recap video last week on TikTok to commemorate the passage of time and the battle she endured, writing, “One year ago today I got my surgery to remove the borderline tumors. It was a hard fight and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t scary but it’s a fight I didn’t do alone and I’m so thankful to everyone that was there for me [especially] my mom who was there every day and rain who never left my side.”
“I know da would have been there and was looking down the whole time,” she added. “And it’s a fight that isn’t over yet but one thing I know is with faith and family anything is possible.”
