The canopy is the topmpost layer of the forest; a bed of leaves supported by    branches. The trees are exceptianlly tall because they get lots of rain,  and lots of sunlight in the day. Some of the trees that make up the canopy are around 75-150 ft. The giant trees hat go passed the canopy are called the emergents. They are home to many birds. The canopy is just one of the cycles of the many cycles of the rainforest, and many of its inhabitants will never descend into the forest interior below the sea of leaves.
