I think they reacted like that at first because they didn't know it was voluntary. If it was an involuntary transformation, then I can get where they're coming from - involuntary transformation basically means that Ozpin conscripted them for his war and gave them no choice. Voluntary transformation means they chose to enter the war, and accept the ability.

After it was explained that they accepted the ability, everyone caled down and was chill with it. Even if they think it's weird (because wow, people turning into birds? That's not normal) they at least went "Yeah, okay, it's a thing but it's okay."
