Hi, so i am creating an endless runner game and i want one of my game objects to fall from the top of the screen after a set time. I have a code for the falling and one for the delay but together they don’t seem to work. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

public class Fall : MonoBehaviour
{
public float fallSpeed = 4.0f; //how fast the object fall

    [SerializeField]
    GameObject _pigeon;

    // delays the method defined in the code
    void Start()
    {
        Invoke("DisplayPigeon", 2);
    }

    //unhides the pigeon gameobject
    public void DisplayPigeon()
    {
        _pigeon.SetActive(true);
    }

    //should move the pigeon down the screen
    void Update()
    {
        transform.Translate(Vector3.down * fallSpeed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
    }
}

Here I upgraded your script to work fine normally…
Hope this will help…
To make the thing you want you can use Coroutine :

public class Fall : MonoBehaviour { public float fallSpeed = 4.0f; //how fast the object fall
 [SerializeField]
 GameObject _pigeon;
 private bool CanFall;
 public float TimeBeforeFall = 5; // The value before falling for exemple 5

 // delays the method defined in the code
 void Start()
 {
     Invoke("DisplayPigeon", 2);
     StartCoroutine(ReadyToFall());
 }

 //unhides the pigeon gameobject
 public void DisplayPigeon()
 {
     _pigeon.SetActive(true);
 }

 //should move the pigeon down the screen
 void Update()
 {
    if(CanFall == true)
    {
     transform.Translate(Vector3.down * fallSpeed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
	} 

 }


IEnumerator ReadyToFall ()
{
	CanFall = false;

	yield return new WaitForSeconds(TimeBeforeFall);
	

	CanFall = true;
}

}
