Again, none of that is communicated to an audience that is only familiar with the films, not the books (like my wife, for example). The only thing film viewers see is Gandalf whispering a command to a moth and then a few minutes later the eagles show up to save the day. It very much looks like Gandalf is using his magic to make the eagles do his bidding.

Ya good point, I just assume that everyone knows the back story that you would get from the books and understands the relationship all of the races have.

Think of the Eagles as Canuck fans, the smugness is off the charts.
