My best guess is simply that Qrow and Raven descend from another fairy tale or legend, so shapeshifting into birds is magic. Qrow even said that Remnant is full of stories and legends and that some of them are true. So, there's more than just the story about the Maidens and the legend about Silver-Eyed Warriors.
