If they were meant to look like birds they weren't going to model excrutiatingly detailed images to use, especially if they'd intended them to appear on screen for the amount of time they were. I don't think that it's unfeasible that Raven would watch out for her daughter, perhaps even her team. There's a [post] on tumblr explaining the German term, Rabenmutter (raven mother), which essentially describes a mother who is always there for her child, even though she may seemingly neglect them and/or neglect them. - "They’re always around warning about dangers and foes even tho it might look like they are not"

I can't find Monty's original twitter post but Kodachi-sama posted an image from it [here], then Geek96boolean10 posted the remaining images, where a similar bird-like symbol can be seen in the Red Trailer, that Monty said everyone had missed. I think that this, along with the appearence of the bird symbols in 2.12 and 3.11, can be linked, and that even though Qrow told Yang in 3.8 that "she shouldn't expect that kindness again", Raven is still looking out for her, and her sister. (Yang is seen to be fairly careless when jumping into battle (see Yang vs Adam), so knowing that her mother watches over her to ensure her safety, wouldn't exactly help her remedy this flaw.)
