I have 5 of them. They're insane. Every time I pick one up and move slightly away, all the other birds start chirping and squawking. Why?

You did not mention their ages. If they are still babies they are calling for their mom and dad to protect them from danger. If they are older about a year or older and you have been taking turns taking them out of the cage then they are saying they each want their turn to come out and play. Talk to them quietly and tell them they will get their turn. When they are quiet praise them and give them a treat. They will soon realize waiting is not a bad thing.

More or less to alert the others of their leaving the flock. It's their way of communicating to the others of what is going on, that's all. Kind of like "hey i'm going over here, hey look at me, i'm going and you're not" kinda thing. Or "hey this human picked me, and not you ha ha ha" it's all about communicating with the other birds in their language.
And for the one that said their bird flops around, then i'd say someone didn't properly clip their bird. No bird should be flopping around on the floor, and that's a shame a bird should have to even do something of that sort. Perhaps your bird needs a professional clipping and a better diet.

I have 4 and they do the same thing. They are part of a flock and when you separate them I believe they try to keep in touch my screeching.
Not sure that's the reason - just my opinion. But mine do the same thing.

They're attached to eachother. One is out they all want to be out. If you clip their wings you can get them all out at the same time and manage them, let them run arund on the coffee table or whereever.
Clipping their wings wont hurt them either you just cut the long feathers carefully and they get used to it after they flop a few times.

like Joan said, they just want toe attention. My conure does that with me, but one conure alone is louder that 100 cockatiels squacking at the same time.

as one person there part of a flock and there bonded to each other so when you separate them chirping in high pitches is there way of contacting each other
