Crikey( sorry couldn't resist ) judging by that 'tail' in the first candling pictures i think that its gonna be a lizard. Or a croc.

Okay, I did an online search. and I did find an Australian animal that abandons it's eggs. It usually leaves it's eggs in nests of bush nesting birds, for a ready source of food when hatched. It might have heard your birds inside and assumed the rug was their nest.
The young are known to mimic the sound of birds to encourage the birds to sit on them even though they have a longer due date.

It really seems like the mystery parents were Hoop Snakes.

But don't reptiles usually have leathery shelled eggs? This one looks brittle like a bird egg...

They have adapted their eggs so they are not rejected by the birds.

I especially like the part about their "sticky-outy tongues".
