To get the legendary birds you have to do the following.
Find the bird for the first time.
Then find the bird 10 more times.
After you do this it will move to a cave where you can catch it.

source: Just watched Werster do the full process at twitch.tv/werster

edit: Werster also just tried bringing the three legendary birds to Sea Shore Den and nothing happens.

So do legendaries come with full perfect or only in 3 stats? If only in 3, does anyone have an estimate of what Xerneas his SpAtk and Speed should be for perfect IVs right after catching?

I'm not there yet, but I can't decide which Nature to go for with Yveltal.
Both Yveltal and Xerneas' stats and currently known moves suggest that they have a strong mixed set, with Yveltal leaning towards offense and Xerneas towards bulk.
Maybe +Spd -Def for Yveltal, hm.

Is there something new in this Gen or why would they have any default-perfect IVs at all?

Fanservice, I guess. Also, probably to ensure that the mascot legendaries won't suck.

Well, if there really are at least 3 auto-perfect IVs, it should be quite easy to check with a few catches and noting down stats. (do you have the masterball at that point, to speed up the process?)

You should obtain it (way) before the battle, but it doesn't really matter, since many of the people on Smogon as well as people elsewhere tested it, it doesn't matter.

If so many people tested it, why do we not know if it's 3 perfect IVs or all perfect IVs?

Update on my last post, I have someone willing to lend me their Moltres.

If anyone has an Articuno to lend me, I wanna take all 3 birds to the Den for possibly Lugia.

Don't bother. It has been tested that that doesn't work.

As great as that would be, it doesn't seem likely to happen.

Still, one of the great things about no one being able to hack the 3DS is that it's not impossible for there to be more legendary Pokemon to find.

Downloaded on Friday night just got Mewtwo and Zygarde. Soft reset about 20 times and got a 31/30 average IV's on my Mewtwo. I'm really interested in the chamber of emptyness I hope that's expanded on. Right now I'm hunting to get an adamant absol with a decent IV spread >_>. I hate IV's so much Super training is a godsend though.

Does Xerneas have different forms? What kind are there?

It doesn't have "forms" per se; more like "modes" that are similar to the overdrive modes of Reshiram, Zekrom, White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem. They have no effect on its stats and are merely aesthetic. In battle, Xerneas will look as it usually does with its glowing antlers, but outside of battle, its antlers and some of the patterns on its body will take on a muted blue-green color.

Yveltal does not have such "modes," nor does Zygarde.

I just caught Yveltal in a quick ball. No messing about first turn nothing else required.
Was this a fluke of pokenature or is the capture rate for this one excessively low?

But wouldn't it still be impossible to RNG them because they start out roaming? It seems like you're banking on the chance that their stats aren't generated until the final encounter in the Sea Spirit Den...

It wouldn't be a huge loss if I couldn't rng them, as I have ones in my 5th gen games to transfer in december. The only thing that would really make it suck to not rng them is if they came with their hidden abilities.

As nobody struggled with it, they assume that it has a high catch rate.
