BUT, I'm having problems with animals jumping out of trees. The animals that jumped out of trees and flew would survive and so reproduce. BUT, no animals are gonna jump out of trees, fly, and survive.

Have you never observed an ordinary squirrel ? They jump out of trees all the time, and they don't (often) get killed doing it. And they can't fly at all. Flying squirrels, as shown above can do even better because of the skin flaps joining their arms and legs, which allow them to glide.
