Adiumy

"Adiumy" is what the duck that represents Adium's default icon is called.

See two blog posts by Adium's former Project Manager Chris Forsythe:

•  Icons of the past and the future which is on the history of the duck and
• " Defending the Duck".

Also see a blog post by one of its authors, Adam Betts:

• " Adiumy Icon - Looking back".

The colourful nicknames of two further Adium components also relate to this species:

• the Status menu item is called "Evil Menu Duck" (EMD) and
• the Adium Crash Reporter has been named "Burning Duck".
