I heard on the local news that moose cannot digest the rich alfalfa we may be tempted to leave out for them. The chemical contents of their digestive juices changes during the winter, to be able to digest twigs, stems and heavier stuff. When you feed them alfalfa it may fill their stomachs, but cannot be properly digested, and so the animal may die of starvation even with a full stomach. I don't know if this is true for grass hay as well.

They can, but it's not the best diet for them. They need to eat browse like leaves and twigs off of trees like willows, not grass/legume hay. Moose are not cattle, they're more selective in what they eat than cattle are.
