Humans do the same thing, bud.
Think about it.
You just tilted your head and looked up. You’re welcome.

Pretty sure they tilt their heads to get a better look at the thing they are looking at if I recall correctly
There might also be a thing with them tilting their head to find the direction of a sound
It's hearing, not sight.
Tilting their head means the sound hits each ear just a little bit off, and those milliseconds difference let's them locate the sound in 3d
It's useful for both, actually. It's basically depth perception for both senses, since we've got 2 ears and eyes. At first, you're hearing/seeing from two points. Then when you tilt your head, you're rotating those two points on a different plane, giving you a different frame of reference.
Nope, it's to hear how low to the ground something is by having sounds hit their ears at different times.
They tryna hear better. They shift their head to get sound to bounce in their ears differently, allowing to pinpoint location of sound. Good for hunting rodents and looking cute as hell
They have astigmatism or are anime
I think I've also seen some humans do the same thing. Not sure why they do it though.
