The eagles brought Gandalf and Bilbo and dwarves to their nests. Because Gandalf had once healed their lord from an arrow wound, the eagles wanted to repay their thanks to them. Gandalf suggested carrying the dwarves and the group far away and setting them down well across the plains, but the Lord of the Eagles said they wouldn’t take them to where men live.
According to his word “They would shoot at us with their great bows of yew,” we can know that men don’t like eagles and are not kind to them. So though the eagles were glad to take them as far as they can, they don’t want to risk themselves for dwarves.
