The Ostrich Maneuver is the state of a person burying their head to avoid any given situation, much like an Ostrich covers it's head to avoid danger. Ostrich's bury their heads based on the simplicity, "if I can't see them, they can't see me". People pulling the Ostrich Maneuver commonly figure the same. Generally the Ostrich Maneuver is a person's last line of defence, given it's failure rate.
