Mhoram brought up the topic in chat the other day:

Mhoram: re: Maia in Eagle form mating with regular Eagles - Melian + Elwe = Luthien might be the best base to make that decision
obloquy: no, i've considered that and it's not the same. maiar and elves are both sentient beings with fëar
obloquy: maia + eagle is a different kind of union
Mhoram: good point
obloquy: a kind of union i doubt tolkien would have allowed in his works.
obloquy: at least on the good guys team

I think the point is very valid. A maia in eagle form would, according to the sources we have, still be an intelligent creature, and would not normally commit an act with an animal.
