After the rains, as the flood waters receded, the raven was the first that Noah sent out on a reconnaissance mission.
Why the raven ? His reason for that choice isn't mentioned in the text, but I'd suggest for your that it could have been because ravens live very well off of carrion, of which plenty was laying around as the waters receded and the land was revealed.
It was a dove, that did not return to Noah.
A raven.
Noah first sent out a raven, and it just flew back and forth. Noah then sent out a dove, which returned to the ark, and he waited seven days. Noah then sent out the dove again, and it returned with an olive branch. He waited seven more days, and sent out the dove again, and this time, it did not return.
There were two the raven and the dove.

No. Noah first sent forth a raven in Genesis 8:7, then a dove in 8:8.
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.

The second time the bird returned it had a branch/leaf in its mouth. Another week later he sent the dove out again and it did not come back.
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.
Noah sent out a raven first, followed by a dove. A week later, another dove was released:Genesis 8:7-9 (KJV)7:And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8:Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
