Yep! hes pied all right!
a light pied
What are his parents?

It looks to be split to pied. Typically splits show signs of white wing tips, white on head and under the chin.

"Identifying Splits
Male and Female: Birds that are split for Pied can show varying amounts of white. It will usually show on the primary wing feathers and the chin. Some birds show no white feathers at all."

Mam is white, dad is light grey, they have three babies two like this and two normal grey

If mom is white she can be a pied white. Or she can be a white and dad could be gray split to white. Hard to say. Pied is recessive and the gene can come from either parent.
