They didn't have quads

The Eagles were like the Ents, they didn't give a fuck
>get spotted by eye of Sauron
>get Zerg rushed by wring wraiths on their flying beasts

The eagles didnt give two shits about middle-earth and only helped those few times because ganondalf promised them human women to fuck or some shit, that and arrows,nazgul etc.

5 minutes into the flight the eagle carrying Frodo would have been corrupted by the ring. He would have dropped Frodo from on high, then taken the ring off his corpse.

Using the eagles to fly the ring to Mordor is like using only your queen in a chess game.

Eagles eat hobbits and small sheep, grandalf knew these feathery fucks couldnt be trusted.

Tolkien considered the eagles as an explicit plot device and compared using them capriciously to subvert the arduous journey to using a helicopter to fly up Everest when the goal is to climb and conquer it, woop woop juggalo for life mmfwcl.
