Nesting mourning dove

Hello,

I have a mourning dove living in a small spruce tree on my balcony. She has 2 eggs. Will she ever get used to my voice so I can put food and water under the trees container. There were 2 Doves, but I only see her now. I put some water out for her last night but I don't know if she drank any. She has not left the nest for almost 3 days. I am worried about her. I am going to buy some wild bird seed for her today. Will it be safe to put it under the tree container? My concern is predators.

Thank you, Karen
