The bird is not wounded now -- it was wounded in the *past*.
The person is not wounded either (and "damaged person" is too broad and too strong a term here.)

M ~ 比喻受打擊或驚嚇後,心有餘悸,稍有動靜就害怕的人。參見「驚弓之鳥」條。

LA ~ 受過箭傷的鳥。比喻受過禍患、遇事膽怯的人。典出《戰國策‧楚策四》。
- 他深受人背叛之害, 已是傷弓之鳥, 你又何苦讓他再次受傷呢?

GR ~ (idiom.) Oiseau blessé par l’arc (devient craintif) : chat échaudé craint l’eau froide (provr.); expérience passe science.
