Here's the situation:
I've taken the form of an Eagle using Beast Shape 2 which grants a Fly speed of up to 60 feet with Good maneuverability. An Eagle, however, has a Fly speed of 80 feet with Average maneuverability.
By the wording of the Polymorph effect, I must use the lesser of the two effects (so my Fly speed is restricted to 60 feet) but does this also apply to the maneuverability rating?
Thanks in advance for any help the Board can give.

***********************************************
In addition, each polymorph spell can grant you a number of other benefits, including movement types, resistances, and senses. If the form you choose grants these benefits, or a greater ability of the same type, you gain the listed benefit. If the form grants a lesser ability of the same type, you gain the lesser ability instead. ***********************************************
