A foolish bird
"The Ostrich (Species Gladstonensis) after depositing its eggs in the burning sand of the desert, leaves them to the chances of incubation, addleation, or destruction. This naturally shy but nervously daring bird, then hides its head in any hole, hollow, or covert in the sand or rock, in the vain hope to avoid peril by deliberately blinding itself to danger." - Buffoon's Natural History
