A sentence later she mentions the King's Eagles - Manwe's Eagles. Not Yavanna's.
![]() I've always understood this passage differently though, I didn't read it well. But anyway, the Eagles are still Manwe's, and therefore Gandalf was more in contact with them than Radagast. |

they basically are his though, regardless of whether Yavanna had a role in creating them or not, they are called 'The Eagles of Manwe' for a reason you know

I don't think they were Maiar. As LoCu says, they were the eyes and ears of Manwe, and I find it not likely they were maiar. But I can't really say why, so I'll guess I have to agree with you; they could be maiar

Yes, but it is mentioned in the Sil, that the Eagles were Manwes eyes and ears.
