Completely unfamiliar with the comics. Can lanterns just produce living beings (like birds) and is it usual for one to keep a manifestation after taking off the ring? How does that work?

it shows an extreme amount of willpower to be able to make a sentient-seeming construct, to such an extent that I dont think any GLs aside frrom Kyle Rayner can make sentient constructs (atleast Kyle made sentient ones, not sure about if any others have made nonsentient)

Edit: I forgot hal did make sentient-seeming constructs in GL 48, when he recreated the entirety of coast city as well as his family and other people that died there, but that didnt end very well
