The wings will stay "short" until the next moult when old feathers will be replaced with new. Not sure when moulting season is in NSA as I am in Aussieland. :)

I trimmed my birds wings back in August and he has been moulting some down lately, so he will probably moult soon.

Your birds feathers dont just grow long again if you trim them short. They fall out, and the bird grows a new set
