No bird toy is 100% safe, but those types of toys are generally okay. The dyes they use for the coloring is non-toxic. It's usually just food coloring. The ropes are usually fine as long as the bird's nails aren't in serious need of a trim, and as long as the owner regularly trims any long frayed bits off the rope and makes sure the knots are tight. Bells can cause problems though if the clapper isn't completely soldered in. Some birds have been known to rip out the clapper and swallow it.
