      The eagles don’t meddle in the trivial doings of mortals. And they don’t collect your garbage.

      But Bilbo could at least stack them like a sane hobbit.

        They did when Gandalf asked them to. All we’re talking about is a different flight plan.

          In the Ring issue, while mortals had become involved, in the grand scope of it all it was a higher beings’ matter. Sauron trying to dominate Middle Earth was clearly off the intended path, and Eru Ilúvatar even had to step in at the last minute to ensure success, which was highly unusual. Of course the eagles would help with part of that if a Maiar asked them.
