As Tolkien describes in the book: "As a boy he used to practice throwing stones at things, until rabbits and squirrels, and even birds, got out of his way as quick as lightning if they saw him stoop; and even grownup he had still spent a deal of his time at quoits, dart-throwing, shooting at the wand, bowls, ninepins and other quiet games of the aiming and throwing sort."
Hobbits in general are excellent at throwing stones. It is a racial trait. See "Concerning Hobbits" in the beginning of "The Fellowship of the Ring."
The hobbits often throw things in games. Bilbo was very good with stones, darts and quoits.
He throws a rock at the thrush because he thought the thrush was listening to their conversations, and was suspicious and he had a really bad temper, so he threw a rock at it.
Bilbo stays invisible for weeks listening to conversations of the Wood-Elves. The king's first man<-? and a guard test some wine in the basement of the Wood-Elf compound. They fall asleep and Bilbo steals the guard's keys. Bilbo unlocks the cells of the dwarves and he puts them in empty tubs that the Wood-Elves were about to throw out through their river disposal system, (I can't quite remember what it was called), and the elves who throw out the tubs threw out the dwarves without even looking in them. Bilbo had one problem though, he wasn't in a tub, so he had to grab on to a barrel and float into the lake where the dwarves and Bilbo are accepted and fed and housed.
he distracts the spiders and gets them mad and finally frees them
It depends on who they have working behind the barricade next to the announce table. Whoever it is, they are a really good throw. Imagine if it was Tony Chimel or Justin Roberts?
One of biblo's enemies was the elf king, Thranduil.
it is claimed he could throw a baseball 400 feet
