The Seven Ravens – not quite as well known, also by the Brothers Grimm. It’s the story of seven brothers who are magicked into ravens and their sister goes through many hardships to break the spell.
Okay, technically these are crows or possibly rooks but it’s close enough, I think. And there is seven of them.

I am sure there was a big book of Grimms fables around when I was a kid but I don’t remember that story.

Oh, I loved fairy tales when I was very young, though now I think they were all very gruesome! And not really meant for children at all.
