2ChishioKunrin Now all these points combined (both eye color and tuft) do sound more concinving and have significantly bent my view in favor of the shapeshifting version. Still, a significant doubt remains, as chibi are non-canon and the show creators might be just teasing public with the shapeshifting option. They, of course, know that it is the prevalent version among the fans.

I still think that Qrow sending his bird forward and then phasewalking/teleporting/shadowstepping/whatever-you-call-it to its location does fit better into the logic of the setting, compared to Qrow melting into bird form with all his inventory. This suspicion is further supported by the fact that the creators show persistance in not allowing us to see the shapeshifting itself.

If Qrow does actually shapeshift, that would mean these are actually two different abilities. Those red-eyed ones seen around him probably aren't there just for good looks.

P.S. I had a revelation. :) Now I know what character he is based on and why his weapon is scythe.
