Ah, but in English, there's a saying about ostriches sticking their heads in
the sand. From Mirriam-Webster Online:

ostrich:
2 [from the belief that the ostrich when pursued hides its head in the sand
and believes itself to be unseen] : one who attempts to avoid danger or
difficulty by refusing to face it.

Not a good connotation for Struts!
