Tail feathers are very important for flight, but as the US Airforce has proven, it is not always required. Julio flies extensively without Tail Feathers and sticks complex landings everyday.

Remember that BB's has very large flight surfaces and is lightweight, a combination that makes flight fairly easy even when missing several flight feathers.
