hi paul very much depends on ventilation, but in i would personally have no more than 6 pairs per 6 ft section unless you got an aviary ;) remember its not quantity its quality, the less birds you can keep per sq ft the healthier they will be, i learnt the hard way mate ;) ;)

according to david palmer a half cubic metre per bird if well ventilated so if your loft is 3 meteres long[ 9ft ]and 2 meteres broad[ 6ft] and 2 meters high[ 6ft]

so if you multiplied the 3 by 2 by 2 = 12 thats per cubic metre so 24 for  a half cubic metre per bird    with the extra foot in length would,  give you another 1and a bit cubic metors   another 3 birds, 4 at most    which would mean according to david palmer bhw vet  28 birds as long as theres good ventilation :) :)

and i thought a metor was something you put a shilling in ;D ;D ;D
