The cowbird and the bison do have a few disadvantages in their relationship. Although the bison probably cannot feel it, the cowbird might be annoying with all the pecking and flocking around. The cowbird might get trampled if the bison decide to stampede.
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.

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.
