many birds like to have sand or gravel to "eat" it stayes in the gizzard and helps to digest their food. Your parakeet may be looking for some rocks on the ground. Try getting some gravel & grit at a pet store and spread a very thin layer in his cage. It may not stop him from tearing up the newspaper, but that could be why he is doing it. Or he could just be bored and doing it for fun. one time my bird did that, he had a seizure and died. :(

Parakeets eating paper may be due to boredom or a dietary deficiency. Providing a variety of toys and activities can help keep them entertained. Make sure they have access to a proper diet and consult with a veterinarian if you're concerned about their behavior.

All LUTINO and ALBINO parakeets have red eyes, because they have have a large absence of melanin pigment, which is completely normal. Also, if your parakeet is white it is an ALBINO parakeet, but if you parakeet is mainly yellow it would be a LUTINO parakeet!
