Stork's wings
Stork’s wings are built in a way, which allows them to take advantage of the streams of upward moving air.

They are long and, compared to other birds, very wide – similar to these of vultures, condors, pelicans and the closest relatives of storks. Large wings of a stork "catch" the up going streams of air. Storks travel like gliders, taking advantage of the air movement.
