Yes they will grow back during the next molt which should be Spring if you are having winter there as we are here. It will take about 6 months if your bird recently molted.

In the future, use a small towel to catch your bird instead of chasing him around with your hands. Never hold onto a bird's tail either because they let their tail feathers go to save themselves. The best thing to do is to work with your bird so it will get on your finger, and there are some training materials on this site.

If your bird runs from you then he is not tame and will require your patience and commitment to training him to step up on your hand or finger.

Look over the training materials on the Parrot Training page and only work with your bird for no more than 15 minutes at a time as birds get tired and stop concentrating. You can do these short sessions a few times a day, and make sure they are spaced out so bird recovers fully from one session to the other. Also make sure your bird is healthy, and we recommend an exam by an Avian Vet to make sure your bird is not harboring any infections or other physical problems before beginning training as a sick bird can die from the stress.
