Are these going to be older birds that you have to keep as prisoners/breeders or are you getting young birds?

Sorry for all the questions, but are you building a small loft because that's all you CAN build or because you think you just want 4 birds?
The bigger you can build a loft, the better. 4 birds can turn into 8 quick, and it gets worse from there. A small loft would be fine for 4 young birds for about 6 months.....then, when they get older and want to mate up and lay eggs..............well, you can see where this is going.

yes i hope to have them able to fly from the coop/ attempt to do training toss's no races just a rooftop flyer. What would your ideal size be for 4 birds/ what would you say is minimum size?

I would go with at least a 4 x 4 and a 4 x 6 if you could. Trust me.......you will NOT be satisfied with just 4 birds. A 4 x 4 can hold 6 to 8 (8 is pushing it) and a 4 x 6 could hold up to 12.......as long as they are flyers and can get out of the loft daily.
But, even saying that, you're going to eventually run into these birds maturing, mating, laying eggs, etc............

rule of thumbThe rule of thumb is 1 square foot per bird. 3x3 would mean 9 birds. assuming the third measurement(height) isn't just 1 foot. but I would say 3x3x5 is plenty of room for 4 birds. Enjoy your birds and watch out for the predators.

Dimitry-most of us started with a small coop to keep a few pigeons----THEN wished we had started with a larger loft..NOW the 6 X 16 seems small. When they mature you will have pigeons hatching "like popcorn popping"
