Does the crow not seem reasonable in his protest of Noah? Of seven pairs of clean animals taken, only one pair of every 'unclean' animal was taken. I'm still a bit confused on why they're called 'unclean' as they're just doing what an almighty essence designed them to do...yes? So, Noah chooses the Crow to be the first seeker of land after the great flood and the Crow protests saying, "Of the seven pairs of available clean animals you choose me! Obviously your lord wishes my death and you covet my wife." Essentially at least. So then Noah snaps at the Crow and forces him on a potential suicide mission anyway. Where the crow finds a tasty body and decides to have his first good meal in a long while.
Is Crow truly wrong? Was he not outnumbered in a sense of clean vs unclean? And of course later Noah releases a dove anyway that is already loved by this Lord and sends praises and etc. So why not just start with the dove? Why humiliate Crow and force him to bow to something he doesn't believe in?

How about if the Crow obeyed the commandment to find land and it put in all its efforts and eventually found land but was too exhausted to make the journey home. After a long while his/her bro/sis(Dove) turns up where he/she made his/her abode and they talked in unity so the Crow hands the Dove a branch from the Tree of Life to take back to the captain of the boat. You see while the three sons of Noah were fighting, among them were two others, one is of the Northern Kingdom and the other is from Southern Kingdom.
