"At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore."
- Genesis 8:6-12
In a similar flood story from Babylon, the flood hero Utnapishtim sent out a dove then a swallow, but neither could find land, so returned. Then he sent out a raven, which didn’t return. The sending out of birds also occurs in traditional flood legends as far away as China and Canada.

A raven, it came back because there was no where to land.
Genesis 8:6-8:
6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.

He sent out a type of crow.
The kind that feed on dead and decaying flesh. It did not come back because most likely it went from one rotting carcus to another getting its fill and resting on the rest of the carcas.
