Intentionally ignoring an issue so that it does not need to be dealt with. It is used as a verb.
This technique is often used by management or politicians so that they can justify not solving an issue. It is also a common technique while procrastinating.
The term stems from the movie Bird Box where everyone avoids looking at “beings” that move around outside. When they finally look at these “beings” they can’t help but reckon with what they are seeing and they end up killing themselves.

Man we were in Canora this weekend and the refs really bird boxed our game. We still won, I mean it’s Canora, but Rama has better refs.
