Well Obviously they weren't set up to fail, that is just an effect of the ring, it infects you, and temps your will to allow you to do evil or wrong, like Devils or Demons (considering your the guy controlling perhaps the most religious character in the entire RP, with essentially the holiest power, you should be at least familiar with this concept of temptation)

Speaking of, I found something I feel you'd like: It's like it was tailor made for your interests

That doesnt solve the issue. The eagles werent going to be any more tempted than anyone else.

I explained that. And considering the fact that they're just sentient/sapient animals, I'm pretty sure that there's a good chance they would be even more vulnerable to the ring.

The only people who were really in any danger worth mentioning of being corrupted were Aragorn, and Boromir, Elves are virtually (virtually, not literally) immune to the ring's taint, Dwarves are very resistant, and Hobbits are...well... Hobbits. Most Hobbits have a fair sized resistance to the ring's taint, Smeagol was an exception (can't be bothered to go dig up why right now), regardless, even thought he did succumb to the ring's psychological taint, 200 hundred years and he was in pretty good shape physically for all that he had developed DPD.

Also, fun fact on Gandalf. He, like Sauron, were servants of the old gods.

EDIT: Oh, and the Birds refused to involve themselves in the conflict. The would not choose sides, even for Gandalf.

The Eagles refusal is the only reason that makes sense to me.

Just because of that I won't find it sad that Gerald's mannerisms are based after my own, that just means somewhere, some Dutch guy approves of my quirks

It's true. While we are mostly known for our wind mills and all of that cliche bullshit, what we truly excell at are the magical powers to grant people happiness by approving of them.
