If they are in the same cage, how big is the cage? If the cage is too small, they'll be on each others cases all the time! If you got a bigger cage, they may stop fighting because they won't be in each others beak on a constant basis.
It could be that they simply don't like each other.
Have you ever met someone you simply didn't like?
Sometimes, birds simply don't like other birds, or other people, or other animals. You can't make a bird like another bird. At best, you will get tolerance.
It's best if you separate them and keep each in their own cage. You don't want them to hurt, blind or kill each other, which is what you might end up with if they continue being in each others faces all the time.

I certainly hope you don't have them caged together!
Those are both too large of a bird to be placed with any other bird of the same size, unless it's a mate or a companion of the same species. Both are also highly territorial if they are male. In any case, unless you have a large aviary you shouldn't have two males of any medium to large sized bird in the same room. This is upsetting to them, as they are instinctively going to wish to protect and establish THEIR territory and you're forcing them to intrude upon one another's space.
If both are male, I would suggest putting them in seperate rooms or being thoughtful enough of their feelings to give one a home somewhere else with a responsible, suitable family.
Even if they are of different genders they still need to be seperated. Birds are intelligent and, like humans, with this comes individual personality. Even if you've known of other people who have had a mockingbird and cockatiel get along, it certainly doesn't mean yours will!!!
Good luck!

Mockinbirds and cockateils are both extremely territorial. Mockingbirds have been known to kill birds to near their territory. Keep them seperated in their own caeges and allow only one out at a time for excercise. There is an extremely small chance of changing this behavior. It's a hard-wired instinct in both of these birds.

Some birds just hate each other. Nobody told them that they have to like each other as a family member. Some species will not accept other species..Only option is seperate them .

well actually you could cash in on this
set your couches/ chair in a ring around their cage
cook up some food and invite some buddies over
charge them each 20 to watch them duel to the death
