  -> Thank you. Canto can mean pebble in a technical context, El canto de los pájaros would be the signing of the birds. I believe this is everyday language and not technical. El canto de las aves would be the singing of the birds.

Explanation:
Just being fussy! "ahogarse" (God forbid!) no es reflexivo en inglés...
