Without knowing how long ago you introduced the birds, it could be hard to say. It may be that the two need more time to bond and get to know each other, before they accept each other. Offering toys that both can interact with together may help them bond. Making sure everyone has access to food, water, and perching space without competition can also help reduce stress and fighting over resources, which can help your birds get along better.
