An Operation of Avian Proportions

An excerpt from The Star (25/8/2005):

"POLICE OP TO RID PENANG OF PORNO DISCS

One way to rid Penang of pornographic DVDs and VCDs is to charge both the buyer and the seller of such discs.

Penang police have launched an operation codenamed Ops Ostrich to rid the state of smut...
"

I'm fine with the fact that they want to keep illegal stuff away from minors, but I'm perplexed as to why they named the operation as Ops Ostrich.

Seriously - Ops Ostrich.

Can someone please rationalize the use of 'ostrich'? Please? Did they really run out of names to use? Were they munching on ostrich burgers while thinking up the name?

Maybe when they do an operation to check on illegal wet market price hikes they can call it Ops Chicken Wing.
