If an ostrich wanted to hide, would it bury its head in the ground?
Because #ostriches are unable to fly, they are unable to build their nests in trees; instead, they dig holes in the ground to lay their eggs in. They will occasionally insert their heads into the nest in order to turn the eggs and ensure that the eggs are being heated uniformly.
However, because of their behavior, it appears as though they are trying to conceal something, which contributes to the perpetuation of the myth.
If an ostrich tried to conceal itself from potential predators in this way, not only would it be unable to do so for an extended period of time, but it also would be unable to take a breath!
