OUTDOOR aviaries (dog kennels)

We are setting up outdoor aviary enclosures using chain link dog kennels to house our scarlet macaws and military macaws and I'd like to hear from others who have used them as aviaries, and how you set up feeding stations, for food dishes, nest boxes, and water for the birds. What kind of food dishes do you use, and can you access them from outside the enclosure so you don't have to open up the gate to feed the birds. And how did you attach them to the chain link?

We have standard heavy gague wire enclosures and use feeding stations made of the same wire the aviaries are made of that open up from the outside and you can remove the bowls to clean them or fill them without opening any of the doors to the aviary. I will get stainless steel buckets for water hung right inside the door, and nest boxes hung on the outside somehow... still figuring that part out.

input appreciated, pictures really appreciated...
Thanks,
Laurie

Make sure it's a Stainless Steel kennel... anything else is poisonous to the birds.
Sorry I don't know much about "dog kennel" aviaries.
