Warming the air for the birds?

I remember a Swedish friend saying that one should not attempt to warm the air for the birds with lack of house insulation.

In Sweden many houses have TRIPLE glazing.

You may have double glazing and wall and roof insulation but are you still being kind to our feathered friends?

One of the worst offenders is draughts, though many can be reduced using draught excluders around doors. But how about the heat disappearing through outside walls from radiators ? One technique is to use reflective material behind the radiator. It is not a difficult or expensive DIY job. A very long roll of “Thermawrap” can be purchased for around £12 and this can be cut to size and attached to the wall or the radiator using “Gaffer Tape”. If the brackets get in the way, simply cut pieces to go around these. They can all be hidden from sight.

Better not tell the RSPB!

But put out some scraps to compensate. It is going to be a long winter.
