Yes, those are used on many toys found in pet stores and on line, but as with any toy, there is a hazard if they come apart, so make your toys bullet, i mean bird proof.

I have used them for my tiels, keets and canaries. I was too frightened to use them on a bigger bird.
Ringnecks are illegal in NJ, so I have no experience with them, and not sure how rough they are on toys, or the size of the beak.... hopefully other ringy owners will chime in.

If your ringneck isn't intent on destroying toys, they may be fine to use... however, if he loves destroying toys then you'll need to find bigger beads... even wooden.

pony beads
ah, pony beads, they are on lots of toys at the store. I stopped having them for my birds however after my Mustache got one stuck on her beak, maybe just a rare thing but I don't use them anymore. good luck.
