This is a normal post not good though if you can get apps that identify bird song why can't they indicate direction?
a way of birding for the deaf

This is a normal post Don't think a smartphone microphone is sufficiently directional to be able to indicate that
Incidentally, the songbird ID apps I've seen in use are mediocre at best at identifying songs. The main problem seems to be that they use AI that is trained on heavily US-centric datasets, and don't seem to take into account location (theoretically easy), or terrain (harder for an app).

I have a mate who uses one when walking his dog and regularly get asked whether it's possible that there's e.g. a Northern Mockingbird in woodland round the back of Brighton (vanishingly unlikely).

This is a normal post Because of physics.
Your phone microphone is not stereo. It's a single mic.

With one mic you can only measure amplitude. To determine a direction you'd need to measure the phase difference between two (or more) mics.

This is a normal post hmm second microphone maybe via an otg adapter though there'd probably be too much delay between the two
paper on the problem

This is a normal post A wider distance between your two mics would improve your spatialisation, as the phase difference would be greater.
Also the wider your ears/mics the lower the frequencies you can determine the direction of. We find it hard to determine the direction of bass because the wavelength is greater than the ear to ear distance. Elephants and whales could locate a tb303 with pinpoint accuracy.

This is a normal post What about indicating signal strength, likely to be strongest when pointed at the source?

This is a normal post Yes it would be best to be a silently hovering sphere covered in ears.
Which is now my new dj name.

This is a normal post not sure if Vic would walk around wearing a sphere covered in ears, though he might hold it aloft on the end of a stick
Bob Mortimer might wear it, need to use his arm as a pointer though
