struthiocephalic

adjective

Literally, being ostrich-headed; figuratively, burying one's head in the sand, or stubbornly refusing to acknowledge a predicament.

From L. strūthiō ("ostrich") + L. cephalicus ("head").
That fellow, with his undersized, beaky-featured skull and dour expression, cuts a struthiocephalic profile. Kind of like my FurAffinity profile, in fact.

"Yeah, buy a rock garden and shove your entire fucking head into it. Quit procrastinating and start writing something decent, you struthiocephalic sluggard!"
