Moose’s Flock Pigeon and Dove Rescue technically began when a little lost ringneck dove showed up in the backyard of founder Jenna Close and she fell in love. A couple of years later two lost racing pigeons also arrived. It was at this time that Jenna adopted a giant brown pigeon named Moose. Unknown to anyone, Moose was very ill with a disease called mycobacteriosis. This diagnosis often results in humane euthanasia because of the cost, time and risk involved in treating it. Jenna and her vet, Dr. G, decided to treat Moose. For the next year and a half Moose was medicated 4x a day. He quickly became a different bird – full of spunk and personality and energy. A couple of months after completing treatment, Moose passed away. Even so, giving him that year and a half of joy and love and health was worth it. In the midst of heartbreak, Jenna decided she would one day start a rescue in honor of Moose’s legacy. Welcome to Moose’s Flock.
