I'm In the UK and am In the middle of moving, In my current house my radiator In my room has never worked so It's never been a question of mine but In the new home I am moving to It has a super fast heating water based steel radiator and I was wondering If these are safe to use In a room with birds? (Obviously I know to never let them NEAR It I mean more along the lines of any possible fumes?) Currently when It's on it gives off a slight warm and "dusty" smell as the house needs a deep clean so I do plan on cleaning It out really well.

I've attached a picture of a very similar one as I forgot to take a picture while I was there cleaning earlier. As you can see it has openings on the top so I will have to buy a speciality cleaning tool to get In there to get all the accumulated dust. IMG_20251206_232043.jpg
