The relationship between cattle egrets and cape buffalo would not be commensalism if the egrets removed ticks from the buffalo, because both species would benefit. The buffalo would be tick free and the egrets would have food to eat.
egrets eat flies or what everother bug is ona cow
In areas where both animals live, the egrets feed on insects that are attracted to the cattle. This is a symbiotic relationship because both parties benefit and neither is harmed - the cattle have fewer insects bothering them and the egrets have easily obtained meals.
Both the Cattle egrets and the ungulate Mammal herds are benefiting from both relationship. The Cattle egrets get a to have a free meal. The Cattle are free of ticks and unwanted parasites.
Cattle egrets Bubulcus ibis do benefit from their symbiosis (Relationship) with cattle. The symbiosis that they share is commensalism, one animal (The cattle Egret) benefits, while the Cattle is unaffected. The cattle help the egrets by disturbing small invertebrates that the Cattle egret eats.
Cattle Egrets foraging in fields among cattle or other livestock. As cattle, horses and other livestock graze on the field; they cause movements that stir up various insects. As the insects are stirred up, the Cattle Egrets following the livestock catch and feed upon them. The egrets benefit from this relationship because the livestock have helped them find their meals, while the livestock are unaffected by it.

No they are insectivorous.
An example of commensalism in temperate grasslands is the relationship between cattle egrets and grazing cattle. The egrets benefit from feeding on insects flushed out by the cattle while the cattle are unaffected by their presence. Another example is the relationship between burrowing mammals like prairie dogs and burrowing owls, where the owls benefit from using abandoned prairie dog burrows for nesting without affecting the prairie dogs.
