The simplest meaning I can give to this prompt is the seclusion or isolation of someone or something, maybe in this case and ostrich.
Being secluded or kept isolated can be uncomforting, most people find it boring and they feel neglected from the rest of the world.
However, I have grown to make use of these secluded time to my own advantage by spending that time alone to build and grow. It has really been helpful and rewarding. Maybe you should try it too.
