At the turn of the 20th century, the Reddi Yanadis were cooks in Reddy households, who didn't mingle with other subsections of the tribe. Others followed a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and occasionally were employed as watchmen. They have immense knowledge of the surrounding forests, flora, fauna and herbs. They ate forest fauna and gathered fruits of the forest.

They traditionally lived in conical huts through which adults had to squat to enter. Widows, especially those with more husbands, were respected as judges of adultery and other crimes. They practiced polygamy, and 1 man even had 7 wives.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Castes_and_Tribes_of_Southern_India/Y%C4%81n%C4%81di|title=Castes and Tribes of Southern India|last=Thurston|first=Edgar}}</ref>
