They can't. As long as the shell is intact, fly eggs (maggots) cannot get into the interior of the egg. If there is a break or small hole in the shell, then it would be possible. In some cuisine, duck eggs are buried and allowed to ferment for a time and then served to people. They are safe to eat as long as the shell is unbroken.

What is used to mosaic ostrich egg onto wood?
Step on egg. Then just stick it on the wood with normal Ponal Wood Glue or any wood glue. The trick is that the eg pieces must not be too big (round). It is easy when you've glued it on, just to press in the middle of the bigger pieces (1.3x1.3cm) and it will 'snap' in the middle. Use enough glue... put glue on wood and place pieces like a puzzle on glue. Looks beautiful when used with DeWinklemans Choc-coloured tiles and grouted brown. Once it is grouted, all the little holes are also brown. Really nice!
