Testing God is wrong.
Asking God for things isn't.
But God may say "no" when you ask.
If you are asking out of pride, chances are high that God will not give you what you are seeking. You can only reach God through humility. If you pridefully go before him and say something like, "Okay, Mister Powerful, let's see you do this for ME," God will most likely be like, "Um, no."
But whatever. You can't test God. God is in no way subject to you, thereby effectively and eternally removing from you any position of power over him. And only those who know something that others don't have the power to test others. You know nothing that God doesn't know. And yet God knows everything you know...plus everything else.

A man is on an island with an active volcano. He's going to be dead before the day ends (the volcano is erupting). He prays, "God, save me!" Eventually a local fisherman comes by & tells him to get in, but the man says, "No, my God will save me." The fisherman leaves.
Again, the man prays, "God, save me." This time a speed boat comes by, but again the man says, "No, my God will save me."
He prays a third time, and a helicopter comes by, but he waves them on.
Eventually, he is overcome by the volcano & dies. When he gets to Heaven, he says to God, "I prayed, but you never came!"
God replies, "I sent a little boat, a speedboat, and a helicopter. What more did you need?"
God has given us lots of signs. 99.99999999999999999% of the time someone asks for a sign, God gives an eye roll & a sigh.
ALSO. Prayer isn't "God, make me a good skateboarder," and it happens. It takes some EFFORT on YOUR part. I keep praying for a good year at college, but I know I'm going to have to work my butt off! God will help me if I keep up MY end of the deal: I DO THE WORK; HE MAKES IT POSSIBLE.

So if the Creator of the Universe doesn't do as YOU command then He must not exist, right? What if the bird flew in your room 20 minutes later, would you still give credit to God? If it flew in as you asked would you still give credit to God, or would you explain it away as a coincedence? If you do not believe God exists then how will you ever believe in the things of God. God will not force Himself upon people. He wants them to come to Him because they believe in Him. Let me know how it works for you though. So far I haven't seen anywhere in the history of man where a person can ask a king to prove themselves and the king obliges.

Supposing your neighbour is hoping and praying to God to get the same bird into his frying pan by 8:16 pm, and the bird praying to get back to its nest at the same time, who will God oblige?
'Destiny shapes our ends
Ourselves we do not owe
What is decreed, must be
And let it be so'
God is beyond our logic, science and test.

Testing someone requires them to owe you obedience. God doesn't owe you any obedience so you cannot test him. Same thing if you had to ask the first person you met in the street to but you a leather jacket... it does not even prove that the other person doesn't exist!

Honestly, if you were God, would YOU comply with a silly, chain-jerking test like that? Didn't think so. You'd want an intelligent conversation, at least--some willingness to come halfway instead of a spoiled brat asking you to jump through hoops.

The only reason why anyone whould have a rule not to test or tempt their god is it does not exist and does not stand up to scruitiny
Its no different to the invention of diplomatic immunity was to help out all the peadophile rapist, slaver abusing diplomats... No other reason

That really isn't a very good test. If you made the same challenge of me, you'd end up concluding I don't exist as well.
God is not a testable hypothesis, which means it's BS.
