Natures Escalators: rising warm air travels in a lazy spiral allowing many birds, grass seeds, insects etc a free ride to heights significant enough to allow a good glide into the distance. A pelican rising 100metres could glide for about a mile with minimal effort. This is an evolutionary advantage for large birds so they can travel between distant seasonal food sources.
