"Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground." Genesis 8:8
Since the raven didn't return, Noah sent out a dove. Actually verse 7 doesn't tell us why Noah sent out the raven, it only tells us that he sent it out. Here in verse 8 it tells us that the dove was sent out to see if the water had gone down from over all the ground. Maybe he was just tired of that raven and wanted to let it out so it would keep being a pest. Maybe doves are more reliable birds.
