Maybe the owl simply blundered into the vertical strings.

Subject: Powerful Owls and Plastic Fish
Our elderly next door neighbour has a tree in her back garden from which
she has several large plastic fish ornaments dangling vertically from
branches on the ends of string. Two nights ago (at about 11 p.m.) she
came rushing over to our place for some urgent assistance. Apparently, a
Powerful Owl had swooped down onto one of the ornaments and, in the
process, became entangled in one or more of the strings. Our neighbour
had been woken up by the screeching and when she saw the bird she wanted
me to assist her to free it. However, by the time I reached the
neighbour's back garden the owl had freed itself and was nowhere to be
seen.
I assume that the Powerful Owl (which is a regular visitor to our
gardens) regarded the fish ornaments as potential prey. Has anyone else
observed something like this?
