• Noahs Birds (Gen 86-12)
• The Raven often considered to be a dual natured
  bird. Detestable in Lev 1115 yet a life giver to
  Elijah in 1 Kings 171
• For Noah it just kept flying and proved useless
  to him in determining the state of the world.
• The Dove is not a flesh eater and cannot fly for
  long periods. It was more valuable to Noah. The
  2nd flight indicated that the water had receded
  and after the 3rd flight 7 days later, it did not
  return to the Ark.
