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.
I didn’t realize how bad the mold was in my basement until I stopped birdboxing it.

Trump birdboxes climate change so that he can justify withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Birdboxed 

We decided to watch a movie, but it turned out to be a rehash of "The Happening." We got birdboxed so hard.

We thought it would be a good idea to go to the bar, but we totally got birdboxed when it turned out to be beer pong night...

We thought it would be a good idea to go to Chick Fil A but when we arrived, we forgot it was a Sunday. Birdboxed yet again....
