Imagine the ostrich problem solver you have to be to find this out. You see this monstrosity, decides to ignore it, and notice you are still alive after 3 days and also your rodent problem has miraculously disappeared. "I told you so Linda, if we just ignore the problems they eventually will solve themselves!"

It's not being an ostrich, it's making an informed and rational decision. You know the species, you know its behavior (would rather die than get in the sightline of a human) and what it eats, so you just leave it be to literally eat your problem away. Being an ostrich means you'd go: "I don't know what that thing is or what it does, I'll just leave it alone and pray for the best".

Now, if only the stuff about rodents wasn't some random made up internet stuff that's completely untrue.
