The black cat and the ferret are only on screen for a few seconds.

2. Bill the Pony accompanies the Hobbits, Aragorn, and later the rest of the Fellowship, from where to where?

Answer: Bree to the Walls of Moria

Aragorn releases Bill outside the Walls of Moria. He tells Sam, "Mines are no place for a pony. Even one so brave as Bill." He then tells Sam not to worry as Bill knows the way home.

3. A flock of black birds, spies of Saruman, fly over the Fellowship. What sort of birds are they?

Answer: Crebain

The Fellowship see the flock flying towards them and it is Legolas who exclaims, "Crebain from Dunland." Legolas doesn't say this very clearly and I have heard one woman say that she thought it sounded more like 'Cranberries from Dublin.'

Answer: A moth

The moth returns with the giant eagle, and Gandalf makes his escape on the eagle's back.
