It decomposes or is eaten by other birds or insects. It contains useful minerals. Egg shells are very nutritious for plants. They decay and return minerals to the soil. Generally, the parent birds will push the shells out of their nest onto the ground. If the bird is one that nests on the ground, they just move away from the shells. The same thing happens to reptile eggs - snakes, turtles, alligators, etc. will lay their eggs in the ground.
