The eagles, having no immediate allies, do not wilfully go and help out others. Gandalf was the only reason the eagles helped out the Company. The Eagles would make off with the woodmen's sheep and livestock for food, and the woodmen learnt to defend against this, and made great bows of yew. Therefore, even though they would not be stealing livestock as they would just be dropping the Company off, the men would get the wrong impression and open fire on the eagles.Men shoot at them with their bows and attack them.Because of the great bows the men employ to protect their flocks. They think the eagles steal their sheep, and sometimes they do.
