The pink bird just committed the cardinal sin of physics education: confusing a parabola with a catenary curve. A hanging string forms a catenary (from Latin catena meaning "chain"), not a parabola. The difference? Parabolas follow y = x², while catenaries follow y = cosh(x). Sure, they look similar to the untrained eye, but that's like confusing twins because they both have faces. The owl professor is rightfully appalled. Graduate students everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force.
Then What Is It? The Catenary Catastrophe
