Starlings and other birds are often seen feeding on insects amid cattle in the pasture. The feeding cattle stir up the insects and the birds catch them. This helps the birds and doesn't affect the cattle. This is not the same as birds that pick parasitic insects off the cattle, as that would be mutualism.
The most common example is the clownfish and the sea anemone. The clownfish shelters among the tentacles of the sea anemone, and the sea anemone is not affected.
Barnacles live on whales and get to be transported to different areas of the ocean to feed. The whales are not affected.
