From what I've seen posted on this topic, you will still have your other Companions available too. So there is potential to have all Companions of different types, each with one of the 3 trees maxed, as well as a hybrid chocobo (like the one you may be thinking you already messed up).
I'm curious to know where you came across the information regarding multiple companions? Maybe it was under naïve assumption but I had just thought the black chocobo chick awarded via the Veteran's Rewards was just a minion like the Wayward Hatchling. I'm honestly just curious about your sources and whether you'd be kind enough to supply them for me!
