What does the Bible say about the raven and the dove?

Answered in 1 source

The raven symbolizes worldly appetites, while the dove represents the Holy Spirit and believers in Christ.

In Genesis 8:6-13, the raven that Noah sent out symbolizes the ravenous nature of mankind, feasting on death and decay, whereas the dove represents the Holy Spirit and the believer's yearning for Christ. The raven never returned to the ark, signifying a separation from God, while the dove returned seeking rest, highlighting believers' innate desire for divine fellowship and sustenance.
