Put the bird in the orb in a big box. Like Schrodingers cat, when you cannot see the bird and the orb, the bird can be thought of as both inside and outside of the orb. (Big Bang Theory FTW...)
another person comes up smashes the orb and takes the bird out and then fixes the orb. the point is YOUR not damaging the orb someone else is and the bird gets out
Like I said I got this from a comic book so I am pretty sure it is Google proof. Hint it is from 52 I don't remember which volume.
