Suggested correction: This is taking the dialogue too literally. Translating culturally specific terms and forms of expression into something the counterpart can understand in the intended way is entirely appropriate and only logical. A person not familiar with English culture would be very confused if, for instance, someone translated the phrase "Your goose is cooked" literally.

Suggested correction: Anti personnel mines are specifically designed to badly wound someone rather than kill them outright, as it takes more people to deal with a wounded casualty rather than if they were dead. Movies exaggerate the blast effect as anti-personnel mines don't actually blow anyone to pieces, even a large bird.
True, but in this instance, it was a small bird. The mine in question can severely maim or destroy limbs, therefore the bird shouldn't have been seen.
