Canary Row is a 1949 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce.

He attempts to climb the drainpipe again, but this time, Tweety drops a heavy bowling ball, causing Sylvester to accidentally swallow it.

Helplessly, Sylvester rolls into Champin's Bowling Alley, causing chaos with sounds of pins falling.

Despite his efforts to discreetly search for Tweety, Granny sees through his disguise when he politely tips his hat.

This would happen again in the 1952 short A Bird In A Guilty Cage, and stayed that way from 1953 to early 1954 but would return to the original edited pitch again in Muzzle Tough.

Sometime before fall 1980, linguistics researchers David McNeill and Elena Levy selected Canary Row as a test stimulus for a study on nonverbal communication.

The film has since become a widely used standard stimulus in linguistics research on how people communicate when retelling stories to others.
