A dove can fly and is therefore nothing but extra weight. Noah was trying to stop the ship from sinking.
I don't know who answered this or how long its been, but obviously they don't know the story of Noah. It rained for 40 days & 40 nights, the entire world was covered with water. I don't think a bird can fly for the length of time that it was covered. Noah sent out the dove to see if there was dry land.
Genesis 8
New King James Version (NKJV)
Noah’s Deliverance8
Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
9But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.
10And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.
11Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
12So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

An oxymoron. Oxymorons are figures of speech that combine contradictory terms for effect, such as "jumbo shrimp" or "deafening silence." In this case, "dove feathered raven" juxtaposes the gentle imagery of a dove with the dark connotations of a raven.

What happenedtothe raven in the story noahs ark?
In the story of Noah's Ark, the raven is sent out by Noah after the flood to see if the waters had receded. Unlike the dove, which eventually returns with an olive branch, the raven does not return, suggesting it found a place to rest and feed. This leaves the fate of the raven somewhat ambiguous, as it may have chosen to remain free rather than return to the ark. The raven symbolizes a more independent spirit compared to the obedient dove that represents hope and renewal.
