Entirely normal, for once

[haydensphere]

For years, I've noticed that my left ear hears music better than my right ear. As a consequence, when I'm unsure of pitch or timbre, I turn my left ear toward the source and am duly rewarded by subjectively clearer perception

I normally turn my right ear towards people I'm trying to pay close attention to. The next time we talk, remind me to reverse that and listen to you with my left -- I'm curious what the effect will be.

Birds don't have a corpus callosum (bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain), so they will look at you with one eye (I think it's the left one, but I can't remember) if they are trying to record you in memory or to figure out who or what you are by comparing your image to those in memory.

If you scare a crow, it might fly back and look at you with one eye before flying away for good. For general observation, however, birds tend to look straight ahead.
