They don't think he's soulsucking. They think he and Oscar's souls will become one, as in the two of them fuse into one joint being. Its unclear who the dominent personality is anyway, so neither they nor we know who will fade away and who remains in control. Personally, the way it sounds makes it seem like Ozpin will fade away into Oscar while Oscar becomes the dominent personality.

As for why the bird thing freaked them out more, that's because they thought Ozpin just forced it on them, not giving them a choice. With the soulmelding, it comes off as him simply fusing with Oscar, and a situation he himself had no control over. With the Bird, they thought he just randomly chose to turn two people into birds without bothering to ask them for permission.

Also, this is the wrong topic thread. It's not off topic, its General Discussion.
