Talk:Eagles

Maybe the eagles couldn't fly them to Mt. Doom because they were busy in the north and were only able to go south to Mordor after the Battle of Dale, which ended 5 days before the ring was destroyed. Unsigned comment by 71.135.68.111 (talk • contribs).

Maybe, maybe not. There are, AFAIK, no sources that place the Eagles in the Northern campaign of the War of the Ring. Unless you have a valid source, don't add it.
Whole page needs a makeover anyway. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 07:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Concerning the makeover: we use the Ainur template on this page, and thus basically say that eagles are Ainur. Shouldn't we note the ambiguity concerning the nature of eagles more clearly? --Morgan 13:55, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
I agree entirely: they could just be large, sentient, long-lived birds (I've also been complaining about the physical size of that template for a while). --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 10:14, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes it does, under section 4. --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 07:32, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
