Don’t see how this could work
At least with any useful level of efficiency. High altitude means a long tether. Long tether equals lots of cable stretch, which will rob you of in/out movement. It would also massively reduce any angular movement so good luck with generating energy from that.
So, you end up with a complex system with a low energy conversion rate, that’s a menace to everything else flying. Including birds.
