People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is recognizing Miley Cyrus after they heard of her showing kindness toward the chickens that were on the set of her film 'Hannah Montana: The Movie.'

The actress/singer is said to have taken one of the chickens home to keep as a pet. She also is said to have packed up a few more birds to send back with her mother.

"Miley's heart is as big as her smile," says Dan Shannon, PETA's assistant director of Youth Outreach and Campaigns. "We hope that her act of compassion will inspire her fans to be kind to animals too."

PETA sent Miley a framed Compassionate Citizen Award and card signed by their staff for her kindness toward the birds.

Miley's film -- based on the Disney Channel television show about a teenage girl living a double life-- opened with $34 million in ticket sales this past weekend.
