I am a level 8 Circle of the Moon druid, and using the DND Beyond tool to manage my "extras" (and thus, shapeshift forms") I cannot select "Giant Eagle" as an animal form to use for shapeshift when I check the "follow wildshape rules" box. Am I doing something wrong? The PHB indicates that at level 8 I should be able to use a CR1 Giant Eagle no problem; so why does the tool here not allow me to select if I am filtering for "wildshape rules"?
In my DNDBeyond profile page under current subscriptions, I have the PHB, but I do not have the Monster Manual. Do you think purchasing the Monster Manual would address this?
The Giant Eagle is in the basic rules and as such, you should not need to purchase anything to access it. To confirm this, can you go to this page and see the monster listed: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/giant-eagle?
I made a moon druid, went into the extras menu and started searching under wild shape with 'filter using wild shape rules' enabled and the giant eagle appeared for me

No, as the giant eagle is part of the free basic rules. Are you sure you are a level 8 druid? Meaning, are you sure your character actually has 8 druid levels (not just total levels, but druid levels) in D&D Beyond?

Have you paid for the PHB content and the Monster Manual? most common reason why you can't select something like this
I thought about that, but the Giant Eagle is in the Basic Rules so everyone can access it without paying.

Note that you don't even need to be a moon druid to turn into a giant eagle, CR 1 flier is a generic option for level 8 druid wild shape.
Right you are! Edited my post.
Yep! Definitely a level 8 druid: https://ddb.ac/characters/6551386/yk4F5W
