We have carried out an H I survey towards X-ray central compact objects (CCOs) inside supernova remnants (SNRs), which shows that many of them are placed within local H I minimA. The nature of these minima is not clear, but the most likely explanation is that the CCOs have evacuated the neighboring gas. This survey also allowed us to detect a weak, diffuse radio nebula inside the SNR G266.2−1.2, probably created by the winds of its associated CCO.
