A remote sound activated mechanical bird system includes a bird feeder and a microphone mounted on the bird feeder. The microphone captures bird calls. A transmitter is electrically coupled to the microphone and transmits wireless signals including bird calls captured by the microphone. A bird assembly includes a body portion having an apex and bottom end. A head is rotatably mounted on the apex. A motor is mounted within the body portion. An axle is coupled to the motor and to the head so that the motor rotates the head when the motor is actuated. A receiving assembly is electrically coupled to the motor and receives wireless signals from the transmitter. The receiving assembly actuates the motor to turn the head when the receiving assembly receives the wireless signal which includes the bird calls. A sound emitter is electrically coupled to the receiving assembly to emit the bird calls.
