The idiom "ostrich strategy" is a metaphorical expression that likens a particular approach to the behavior of ostriches. The idiom is derived from the popular but inaccurate belief that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they encounter danger, as a way of avoiding the threat. In reality, ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand, but this misconception has persisted in popular culture. This expression is used to suggest that instead of facing a problem head-on and taking appropriate action, someone or an organization chooses to ignore the issue or pretend it doesn't exist, much like the mythical behavior attributed to ostriches.
