Magpie attack! Magpies pulling strands from trees
Happens every year with our Magpies, even our Blackbird has tried pulling Trachy fibres off. It does no harm to the plant to the plant all.

Queen of the night or similar cactus- recommend please
I don't have Queen of the Night, but I do have some Epiphyllum. Plants often look the worse for wear.
