I don't think he means that type of Giant Eagle.

It's weird the things you find when you Google otherwise completely innocuous stuff. I had no idea this thing existed before. Yet it's the first Google hit for the phrase "giant eagle".

I was actually looking for something more like this. Or perhaps like this, which is in a sense even cooler, since it really existed.


2023-03-05 Rerun commentary: It's a well-worn question about The Lord of the Rings: Why didn't Gandalf just get the Giant Eagles to fly the Ring to Mount Doom?

There are various answers such as Sauron would have noticed and sent the Nazgûl or something to stop them (whereas after the Ring got nixed, he was too busy losing his physical body to deal with the eagles picking up Sam and Frodo).

But I prefer to just think that Gandalf didn't think of it, and smacked himself in the forehead later when he realised.
