The Torah states:

"You shall surely send away the mother bird, and take the fledglings for yourself, in order that it shall be good for you and you shall live a long life" (Deut. 22: 7).

Why does the Torah promise a good and long life for fulfilling this mitzvah (commandment)?

The Ramban (Moshe Nachmanides) explains that this mitzvah will implant in a person the attribute of empathy and compassion. Acting in a compassionate manner will enable you to feel empathy.
