The wild birds shown in this video are general species.
Not just birds that live in the mountains of Japan, but waterfowl and sea birds also fit into this category.

The wild birds living all across Japan are migratory birds.

Birds that come to Japan in the spring and stay for the summer are called summer birds, and birds that come to Japan in autumn and stay for the winter are called winter birds. Wild birds which stray into Japan because of typhoons called "stray birds". And of course, the birds that stay in one place year round are referred to as non-migratory birds.
