In humans, usually nothing. They're quite nutritious. Most insects are. It's just that most people think they're disgusting.

Maggots actually have their positive uses: Maggot therapy is the process of implanting sterile, cultivated maggots into wounds for treatment and healing of tissue infections. This is a form of biotherapy.

On the flip side, a maggot infestation can create a high risk of certain disease in sheep and other animals.

if you are stranded in the wild then for a great survival tip is if there are maggots around then eat them as they give you nutrition

What happens to a dead bird if it is left on soil for a few days?

Flies will lay eggs on the corpse, which hatch into maggots. The maggots will eat the flesh of the bird, leaving just the skeleton and feathers behind. It's also likely that a predatory animal - such as a cat or fox - would eat it.
