Ludwig was in the care of Sydney Wildlife Rescue when we met. He had a serious foot injury after having been hit by a car. Despite the life-changing injury, he is now living his best life on a property in Sydney.

Ludwig is aware of how beautiful he is and, as such, is a very proud extrovert... he loves being the centre of attention 100% of the time.  Unfortunately, so much so that he has been in a fair bit of trouble with the law for flashing passers-by.

Ludwig is single and is looking for a life partner… he is hoping to be selected for the next season of The Bachelor.

Calypso was rescued in Kangaroo Valley after being abandoned by his mother during the 2019 bushfires. He went into the care of Sydney Wildlife Rescue and was successfully rehabilitated and released.

His favourite day of the year is Halloween when he gets to
dress up as himself.

Calypso is addicted to social media and has more than three million Facebook friends.

Unlike most bats, Calypso prides himself on his personal hygiene. He spends his days grooming himself and playing board games with his mates – his favourite game is strip poker.

George was in the care of Sydney Wildlife Rescue when we
met. As an ASIO employee, his history must remain a secret.

George is one ssssexy snake! His favourite hobby is pole dancing, and in fact, he recently won the State Championship!

George is a player. He loves the ladies and uses his slippery
tongue and seductive moves to lure them to his favourite tree (consensually of course).

George loves people and is passionate about human welfare
and the environment.

Despite his lack of hands, he considers himself a green thumb! George’s biggest wish is that people weren’t scared of him… it’s not easy being green!

Kevin was in the care of Sydney Wildlife Rescue when we met.  His nickname is ‘Kooky Kev’ because he’s not your average Kookaburra.

Kooky Kev’s hobbies include telling jokes, aerial gymnastics and stalking (both appropriately and inappropriately).

He is the founding member of a four-piece boy band, Birds 2 Men. They are massive in Korea!

His life goal is to one day to perform at the Sydney Comedy Festival.

I met Urchin when he was in the care of Sydney Wildlife
Rescue. He was rescued while attempting to cross a road in peak hour traffic.

Despite his prickly  and standoffish appearance, Urchin is actually a party animal! On weekends he dons black eyeliner and you can find him in the moshpit at a metal concert. He dreams of one day meeting The Cure and Metallica. His other dreams include being allowed near hot air balloons, jumping castles and balloons (he is still salty that his parents wouldn’t let him have these at his birthday parties).

Urchin aspires to be a tattoo artist and has plans to open a tattoo parlour in Sydney, called Quill Ink Studios.

I met Hootie when I took her adoption photos at Sydney Dogs
and Cats Home. Hootie will not discuss her past, except for the fact that she claims to be muse for the band Hootie and the Blowfish.

She loves to keep her nest highly organised and is a huge fan of Marie Kondo (she dreams of meeting her one day).

In order to afford her storage addiction, Hootie sells beak photos on OnlyFans and has an ASMR channel on Youtube.

Hootie’s plans for the future include opening a specialised
Fish and Chip Shop on Bondi Beach, selling only to birds.

I met Coco when she was in the care of Sydney Wildlife
Rescue. She is a cheeky swamp wallaby who loves telling dirty jokes and pulling pranks on her mates.

She’s also a beer enthusiast and has her own microbrewery in her garage. One day she hopes to open her own pub called ‘Hop-’along’ Hotel.

Coco loves sport and is an avid high jumper. She used to support the Wallabies but they’ve been crap for quite some time now, so now she is a crazy Sydney Swans supporter.

Sunny lives in the Daintree Rainforest. I met her when she had finished building this beautiful nest.

As you can see from her work, Sunny is a highly skilled and sought-after architect!  She regularly has more than seven different projects on the go at one time and has won more than 40 awards for the intricate and aesthetically pleasing nests she has built throughout her life. 

Sunny has 134 grandchildren, which means she doesn’t have much spare time, but in what little time she has, she spends it observing and documenting the behaviour of humans within the Daintree. 

Sunny has been planning her retirement and is looking forward to spending her days sleeping, reading and sunbaking.

I met Ben when he was in the care of Sydney Wildlife Rescue.
He dreams of competing in race walking at the Paris Olympics in 2024.

Ben has been campaigning for motor vehicles to be banned in Australia. He thinks humans are all lazy and we should walk instead of drive. He doesn’t understand why we all need to rush around!

Ben aspires to have a human as a pet. Having observed human behaviour, he’s very confused as to why most people aren’t kept on a leash, to save them from themselves!

Ben’s life motto is “Eats, Roots, Shoots and Leaves”. He’s been saving to get this tattooed on his butt.

I met Harry when he was in the care of Sydney Wildlife
Rescue. He was found on the side of the road in Campbelltown after his mother was hit by a car.

He prefers to be referred to as Prince Harry and is annoyed
that the current “royal” Harry is giving him a bad name. As an only child, he Is not a spare.

Harry dreams of running for politics and wants to start his
own party. His platform and priorities include focusing on Indigenous land rights, advocating for stronger animal protection laws, promoting responsible pet ownership, and inspiring young children to become supporters of the
environment.

Gary is a very flirty Scaly-breasted Lorikeet. I met him at Sydney Dogs and Cats Home when I was there taking adoption photos. He wolf-whistled at me, and so began our lifelong friendship. He convinced me to employ him as Tame & Wild’s Chief Customer Satisfaction Officer… a job he takes very seriously.

He loves to sing along to music and is obsessed with female vocalists, particularly Meg Mac, Florence and the Machine and Montaigne. 

His favourite pastime is to create beautiful artwork (his words, not mine) out of poo and nectar (inspired by Pro Hart) on the floor in front of his bedroom. 

Gary’s party tricks include laying eggs, laughing at the reaction he gets when he nibbles the webbing between human fingers, and dancing while hanging upside down.

Palomine is a South Eastern, red-tailed black cockatoo. I
met him when he came in for a photoshoot for a pet portrait experience.

Palomine’s pet human was a chef, which is ironic because he was as loud, obnoxious and belligerent as Gordon Ramsey. Despite his loud exterior, Palomine is a softie at heart, which is why he spends him time campaigning for women’s
rights.

As a side hustle, Palomine is a qualified Courtship Coach.
He teaches other birds how to find a mate by harnessing skills such as crest and wing display, aerial acrobatics and feather plumage.

Peter is a photographic artist based in the Blue Mountains, Sydney, Australia.

With a long-standing love of photography, music and animals, Peter found his niche specialising in the photography of pets and wildlife. In February 2017, he opened Tame & Wild Studio.

In the space of under four years Peter has received more than 160 photographic and business awards for his work.

Pet parents bring their animals to the Studio where Peter creates bespoke artwork capturing the personality of their pet. Clients of Peter’s also include businesses looking to incorporate animals in their advertising campaigns.

To remain grounded and focused on his purpose, Peter continually works on personal projects, with each having specific themes and meanings. These projects often link closely with Peter’s philanthropic endeavours.

He is a Director, Ambassador and volunteer photographer for Sydney Dogs & Cats Home, as well as a volunteer photographer for Sydney Wildlife and Wild2Free Kangaroo Sanctuary.

Philanthropy and the desire to give back is an important part of who Peter is and why he does what he does. For this reason, part proceeds from all sales at the ANIMA exhibition are being donated to the above three amazing organisations.
