I have never (gulp!) had writer's block. I've done my best to prevent it from happening. A technique I use is to never completely finish writing what I want to say in one sitting. When I begin writing the next day, it's easy to get started because I know what I am going to write.

Bird Talk

Our experience at Pandemonium Aviaries is that birds are great communicators. Therefore, it was with both recognition and appreciation that we found out about Sandra Vehrencamp’s experiments substantiating this.
