Ostrich policy is a metaphoric expression referring to the tendency to ignore obvious matters and pretend they do not exist;[1] the expression derives from the supposed habit of ostriches to stick their head in the sand rather than face danger.[2]
Ostriches do not actually bury their heads in the sand to avoid danger.[3]
