This belief might not be of the popular belief, but I don't think Raven or Qrow can turn into a crow. I think the crow is just Qrows loyal and well trained pet/companion kind of like how zwie is to Taiyang. Unlike zwie the crow is more of a eye in the sky companion who is trained to be a look out and has learned how to signal to Qrow when some thing happens, one squack by land two squacks by see then uses beak to point in the direction.

I honestly believe rooster teeth is pulling a fast one on us and will say the moment the barrel got in the way the bird swooped up out of view and Qrow landed after jumping over the wall or jumping down from a building. I think rooster teeth did this to just mess with the fanboys that think Qrow has magic powers of transformation.
