I don't know if there is a thing called a "tick bird" or not, but the bird that rides on a rhino, and eats parasites off of it's hide, is a part of a symbiotic relationship for sure: The bird gets food. The rhino loses annoying parasites. Both animals are in symbiosis. (mutually benefiting) The bird eats the ticks off the rhino's back and warns the rhino of any danger (mutualism). The bird also eats the blood from sores on the rhino's skin and it prevents them from healing (parasitism).
