I use stuffed animals for my macaw and have never had a problem.
I just make sure they have no removeable pieces like buttons or beads, etc (anything they can "pick" off). You can make a small incision and remove the stuffing. Newt absolutely loves his stuffed octopus. You can see its legs hanging in the picture here. Newt sleeps with it.
