Hmm, Let Me Think...

In a discussion of body language on Language Log, David Nash is quoted as saying that "My off the cuff reaction is that flicking the eyes up and to the right like this feels like a help to memory retrieval".

When I'm trying to remember something, I look up and to the left; looking right feels very odd to me.

Am I weird or something? What do you do?

"Interesting to watch dogs, birds, etc use head tilt without eyes up."

It generally seems to me, when my birds are tilting their heads, that it expresses being intrigued by something.
