Hi Sally, yes you did the right thing in leaving them to their own devices; even if it might appear cruel to do so.
If you put Ring-necked Parakeet in the search facility on the forum you will find the general history of these birds in this area under the 'South Manchester Ring-necked Parakeet' thread. I'll also copy your post below to that thread too
Yesterday, around 4-30 pm I saw a sparrowhawk which had a parakeet covered under its wings. I live in retirement flats in Didsbury and we have very large grounds. The two birds were screeching and under a hedge. I didn,t know what to do, whether to try and rescue the parakeet or not, I left them. Does anyone know where the parakeet and sparrowhawk might have come from ? and did I do the right thing?
