YAY! Can't wait to see your cute little birdie! I have two cockatiels whom I love dearly. Aren't birdies just so sweet? I never knew a cockatoo can be just 12 inches! My cockatiels are 12 inches from tip of crest, to tip of tail. Is your bird's body 12 inches, or the whole bird (crest to tail). If the whole bird is 12 inches, maybe even a cockatiel could work (don't take my word on this; I'm just assuming). I think any specie would work as a companion if they are kept in seperate cages, but close to each other when you go out. I wouldn't consider it safe to leave the house with two birds of different species in the same cage, even though most birds are very gentle and don't tend to hurt others. I would get anothe cockatoo if I were you, even another kind of cockatoo. Maybe it will work out better with the same, or similar kind of bird. Good luck on choosing your next bird!
