'Originally Posted By: zmjezhdWhat about a gerund like "hunting?"
1. On hatching, the chicks scramble to the surface and head bush on their own.
Still with number 1. Does it look strange because when heading means moving somewhere, it is usually followed by 'for'?
VERB:
intr.
To proceed or go in a certain direction: head for town.
To form a head, as lettuce or cabbage.
To originate, as a stream or river; rise.
I mean, this looks quite kosher, I think.
On hatching, the chicks scramble to the surface and head for bush on their own.
