I think you'll find it is spelt cockatoo and if you google the correct spelling you'll find plenty of information...

Lutino Cockatiels are also coloured like this, but are much smaller.

Cockatoo, as a comparison (much bigger)  I don't think Cockatoo's have red cheeks.

Don't know if this will help, but I have a cockatiel who has little red cheeks.  He is roughly the size of a blackbird, but he is light grey.  I have seen white ones though with red cheeks and they all have the "combs" on their heads.
