Another thing about ringnecks is that they MUST have small, tight fairly moist quarters with places to hide under, or they will NOT feel secure enough to behave normally and feed. This is very often the number one problem that gets overlooked by most people. They are mostly nocturnal dwellers, and usually will come out from tight hides in search of food if an appropriate prey item is placed at the opening of a tight hide, or near it, such as worms, geckos, anoles, frogs, etc...

If you try all these things after doing it continuously and methodically over a period of a maximum of maybe two weeks or so, it would certainly be best to let the snake go where you found it so it doesn't simply die, and can at least be allowed to continue to thrive in the wild again as it did before.
