In this paper, we present a numerical scheme to obtain polynomial approximations for the solutions of continuous time-delayed population models for two interacting species. The method includes taking inner product of a set of monomials with a vector obtained from the problem under consideration. Doing this, the problem is transformed to a non-linear system of algebraic equations. This system is then solved, yielding coefficients of the approximate polynomial solutions. In addition, the technique of residual correction, which aims to increase the accuracy of the approximate solution by estimating its error, is discussed in some detail. The method and the residual correction technique are illustrated with two examples.
