Bet the eagles only went along with it just so they could bust gandalf's balls after

The eagle king of the time Gwaihir owed Gandalf a favor for helping with an arrow wound in the time of the Hobbit.

Idk how they are portrayed in the Hobbit movies but it should be noted they are intelligent and can talk (I know they don't in the LOTR movies).
