Why didn't Frodo use the eagles to fly over Mt. Doom? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Has anyone ever suggested that the Eagles are Manwe's subjects, and as such cannot undertake the problems of Middle Earth directly. Like the Istari, they can help out when necessary, but they are not allowed to do all the work.

This would explain why they do the things they do, and equally explain the things they do not do.
