Kyle Hill completely misses the point of the Lord of the Rings Eagle Problem
The issue isn't the cube square law, this is explicitly another world where magic exists in all lifeforms, even the eagles. A more educated reply The TL;DR: * Gandalf is friends with one eagle who owes him, he can't just summon a whole flock anytime he wants. * The eagles have their own society and they aren't as concerned with this Sauron stuff as our heroes. * Sauron's tower is surrounded by flying monsters who would detect a flock of giant eagles almost immediately. Placing the One Ring in the vicinity of them would be a Bad Idea.
