Kakariki Lane – nothing on library website for this street. This is a tiny street with modern houses. Kakariki is a parrot and I got a photo of a sign at the start of the lane. The sign has a fantail on it.

After a query from a friend I googled the word again and it kept coming up with the bird so I googled colour and the entry that I found said that the word for green is named after the bird because of the colour of its plumage.
