The relationship between a cattle egret and a cow is called mutualism because both benefit from the relationship and neither are harmed by the relationship. When the cow eats, it stirs up insects for the egret to feed on. In turn, the egret will jump up on the cow and remove parasites from it by eating them.
Cowbirds are considered parasites because they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species. The host bird then raises the cowbird chick as if it were its own, often at the expense of its own offspring. This behavior can harm the reproductive success of the host bird species.
The adaptations of the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher include its ability to catch insects in mid-air using agile flight maneuvers, its distinctive call for attracting mates and defending its territory, and its preference for riparian habitats with dense vegetation near water sources for nesting and foraging. This bird has also evolved cryptic plumage to blend in with its environment and avoid predators.

The northern cardinal and the brown-headed cowbird have a symbiotic relationship. The brown-headed cowbird lays its eggs in the cardinal's nest (and in the nests of other species, too, such as the yellow warbler). This harms the cardinal's chances to reproduce. It's a parasitic relationship.
It's not symbiotic, it's parasitic. The cowbird lays it's eggs in the nest of other birds expecting them to hatch and feed it. In some cases when the host bird rejects the egg the cowbird has been known to return to the nest and ransack it in what scientists call Mafia behavior.

Cowbirds eat the parasites that may infest the bison. This assists them both. The cowbird gets a meal and the bison gets cleaned. This is a form of mutualism, a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms are helped, rather than commensalism where only one of the pair benefits.
