From that note, most likely suspects are Common
Starling or Common Myna.

Subject: [BIRDING-AUS] Egg
identification
Two beautiful sky blue eggs have recently
fallen into my Sydney suburban
backyard - presumably from the lemon
scented gum almost overhead. One was
broken, the other (which arrived a
few days later) intact. It was exactly
30mm long.
I'm in Botany, where
we mostly just have the usual suburban backyard mix of
noisy miners,
starlings, Indian Mynas, spotted turtle doves, plus a good few
New
Holland honeyeaters although heaven help them if their eggs are as big
as
this. Some black-faced cuckoo shrikes have also been floating
around
recently.
I was wondering if anybody had an idea what species
the eggs may belong to.
Cheers
