After several months of hard work, a Sacramento girl is helping wild turkeys in her neighborhood.

Stella was instrumental in getting turkey crossing signs installed near her school, the Front Street Animal Shelter said Monday.


“It really bothered her that they might get hit by cars and cause traffic accidents, hurting both animals and people,” the animal shelter said on Facebook.

According to the animal shelter, turkeys are not that smart and don’t quickly get out of the way of vehicles.

Stella begged her mother to reach out to the city about getting signs put up; both ended up emailing Sacramento officials for help.

“Well, as you can imagine, the wheels of government don’t always spin as quickly as we would like, but her tenacity paid off!” the animal shelter said.

Now, a wild turkey crossing sign stands tall near her school.

On Facebook, the animal shelter posted a photo of Stella, smiling big, under the sign she helped get installed.

“Stella’s love and compassion for animals shines through in her bright smile,” the animal shelter said in the post.
