I have more fluff to sort through, but here is the crunchy goodness of the greatest homebrew race ever devised.

What happens when a Lemur, a goblin, a duck, and fantastical colors are combined through strange and powerful magicks? The Gibble!

Gibbles as characters:
-2 str, +2 dex, -2 con, +2 cha. The charming and nimble gibble is lightly built and frail.
Small size. All normal modifiers apply.
Base speed 30ft.
Darkvision 60ft.
+4 appraise. Gibbles are instinctively drawn to things of value, perhaps inherited from the costly experiments which first created them.
Semi-functional wings. Gibbles may glide up to 30 feet without taking the normal damage from flying.
Favored class: Sorceror

The creatures before you are small and lanky, huddled under semi-functional, feathered wings. They resemble winged lemurs, appear in a myriad of colors, and all seem to nimbly squabble over something shiny in their midst.

The intrinsically magical Gibbles were first created by the experiments of a mad wizard. These experiments infused their small bodies with a myriad of new abilities, erasing what was and forming a new race.

New feats:

Mystical Heritage
Requirements: Gibble
Benefit: The character may use detect magic 3/day and color spray 1/day as spell like abilities with a caster level of 1. The save DC is equal to 11+cha.

Functional Wings
Requirements: Gibble, Mystical Heritage, Base fortitude, will, and reflex saves 2+
Benefit: The character gains a fly speed of 30ft/poor.

The base save requirement of the second feat probably serves some sort of access-limiting purpose (it requires a touch of multi-classing, going monk, or waiting until level 6 to meet it), but it is going to be very hard to justify fluff-wise.

What about "they have to have the strength of will and body to master their wings?"
